Beachwalker Report
The new sand pumped on to the Stone Harbor beaches is in good shape- even after the quick moving Nor’easter last Tuesday.
In Avalon, the project is set to resume by early next week, adding new sand from 32nd Street and north to 9th Street.
Pictured below: 17th Street in Avalon looking north (on a sunny day last week) ; and 111th Street looking south (today in the rain):

Starting to see “opening soon” signs on the doors of island businesses- that’s encouraging.

Island Walks
I’ve always enjoyed walking- especially along the beach (year round).
Since my back surgery in December, walking is now classified as “Doctor’s orders”!
Thankfully, I live and work in a very walkable community. Â I can choose between beach, boardwalk, downtown, or bay side locations…and stalk real estate at the same time 😉
Oh, and did I mention the views?

Avalon/Stone Harbor Prepare for Beach Fill
Check out the engineering tripod on the beach at 32nd Street!
And you may notice the vibration monitors (pictured below) placed in the dunes. Â This technology addresses any concerns of potential structural damage of nearby homes from the movement of sand/heavy equipment.
Science at the beach!
