Reminder to purchase your seasonal beach tags before the rate increase next week!
$22 now/$27 after May 31st.
Tags are reciprocal between Avalon and Stone Harbor NJ.
Historic (and hilarious) photo of “old” Avalon…four sisters growing up on 51st Street.
We were content to turn the picnic table upside down for our make believe boat!
Obviously, I’m the captain because I’m wearing the official bucket ๐
When Comcast moved out of their 32nd Street location, there was a collective groan from property owners and real estate agents!
But good news (at least temporarily)- Comcast is operating out of a trailer in the Community Hall parking lot at 30th and Avalon Avenue.
The trailer will remain until June 18th to accommodate the seasonal start up on the island.
Convenient to pick up your beach tags AND cable boxes in one trip!
After June 18th, all Comcast business will be handled from the new store in Rio Grande รย (Shoprite Plaza on Rt 47- Rio Grande Blvd).
The owner of the new movie theater on 96th Street gave me permission for a quick tour to see the progress of the project.
He mentioned the discovery of the original circular ceiling during construction. It’s now the architectural theme for the lobby.
The layout remains similar to the old theater, but includes new features such as: รย stadium seating and a stage in the largest theater to accommodate live performances; a burger bar (as well as other food/drink stations), and balcony sections that can be reserved by groups.
And back to “hiking” along the flat sand of our Seven Mile Beach ๐
Looking at the calendar and our rental check in list for the quickly approaching Memorial Day weekend.
Hoping the weather eventually catches up to the date!
It’s not too late to find a great summer vacation rental in Avalon or Stone Harbor NJ.
We have new inventory (from recent sales) and a few cancellations.
Please pass the along the word…and the link to our web site!
I am happy to better describe a property and/or location.

Thank you for your interest!
There are several quirky words/phrases commonly used by island residents.
Here’s a quick primer:
The Five & Dime (original reference for Hoy’s 5 & 10)
Off shore (description of the mainland communities; typically Cape May Court House)
Second Avenue (Dune Drive in Stone Harbor)
Third Avenue (Ocean Drive in Stone Harbor, AND a street near the inlet in Avalon…confusing!)
Gully (tidal pool)
Sandbar (the high spot in the ocean just past the gully that the lifeguards allow you to reach mid tide)
It Feels Like Summer!
See you on the beach ๐
