The equipment is in place at the end of the 9th Street beach path. The dredge is in the inlet and actively pumping sand on the Sea Isle City beaches.
A worker for the dredging company said they expect to start pumping sand on the Avalon beaches within the next 2 days and complete the project in 10 days total.
In the meantime, the 9th Street beach is guarded and open for business!
Reminder- The first annual 7 Mile Beach Restaurant Week starts tomorrow, June 4th. 49 local restaurants will participate in this event. Special prices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner ($29.10 per person for a 3 course dinner). Reservations accepted.
There’s no question- this is a successful Memorial Day weekend for Avalon and Stone Harbor. Owners and visitors are enjoying great weather, too!
Bikes, joggers, cars,and strollers are everywhere.  On my drive to work, I passed many families heading to the beach for the day.
Tomorrow, both communitieswill honor the holiday with parades and ceremonies. 9am in Avalon- 30th Street to 21st Street; and 12 noon along 96th Street in Stone Harbor.
Realistic prices, low interest rates, and ample inventory = a great time to buy.
Seashore homes continue to be a solid, long term investment. We have returned to a normal market- where property owners plan for a 7 to 10 year holding period. Invest your hard earned money and benefit from beach time, too!
Avalon and Stone Harbor have brand name recognition, well planned zoning, and a faithful clientele of family visitors. Surrounded by scenic waterways- we truly are an island retreat.

Thanks…I appreciate the opportunity to help!
The ocean has an efficient method of removing both natural and man-made debris.Â
The higher than average tides (from the full moon) and a rough ocean deposited marsh reeds on the beach overnight.  The beach raking machines were out early to clear the sand for a busy beach weekend!
During my morning walk, I picked up trash that washed in with the reeds- a few plastic sports drink bottles and Mylar balloons (a wake up call on the waste produced with everyday products).  The Borough and individual efforts are similar to cleaning before company arrives…we are proud of our seashore community and want it seen in the best light!
Enjoy the weekend 🙂
After a few minor weather delays, the dredges are in place in Townsend’s Inlet and the beach fill project is underway.
Crews will work 24/7 until the job is complete.

Good news…the equipment is in place on the 9th Street beach for the Avalon beach fill project. Tractors are connecting pipes and preparing the work area.

The pumped sand will cover the exposed rocks at the edge of the dunes- allowing for safe pathways to the new beach (working south from 9th to 26th Streets).
Just in time for summer!
