  • Southend Avalon NJ

    Walk through a beach path in the south end of Avalon. Obviously, the view of the beach and ocean will be the first attraction.  But it’s also worthwhile to turn around and appreciate the wide, natural dunes and spectacular homes.

    Like the high dune area, the green-scape in the south end is impressive.  And on an overcast day like today…we are grateful to see color!
