Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update May 23, 2019

May 23, 2019 By Bill and Kay Leahy


Let Lisa Cunningham capture your shore house with one of her unique paintings!

HOUSE PORTRAITS by Lisa Cunningham capture the essence of your shore home, while allowing  you to display it at your home or office!  They serve as conversation starters, or as a great gift for that special someone in your life.  Check out Lisa’s work and contact her for your own “House Portrait!”  Visit her website here: https://www.lisacunninghamfineart.com/

MOST SCENIC FERRY RIDES: The Cape May-Lewes Ferry has been named one of the nation’s most scenic ferry rides by Smithsonian Magazine.  Top reasons include views of lighthouses, harbors, and often, dolphins and whales.  Time your voyage right and catch a sunset over the Delaware Bay, too!  Check out the article, and the other great ferry rides here: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/seven-most-scenic-ferry-rides-united-states-180971997/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=sharpspring&sslid=MzMyNDEyNjU0NTM1AAA&sseid=M7SwMLS0sDQ0MgIA&jobid=d9d9b100-6a89-4fc2-8e92-d3aee6ddd646

15 MILES OF JERSEY SHORE TO LOVE:  A recent Philly.com article highlights Stone Harbor, Avalon, Sea Isle, and Strathmere as “15 Miles of Jersey Shore to Love.”  Included is a rundown of favorite restaurants, amenities, and events that’ll keep you busy all summer!  Check it out here:  https://www.philly.com/things-to-do/jersey-shore/avalon-stone-harbor-sea-isle-jersey-shore-traditions-20190519.html

A NEW WAY TO OWN A BOAT:  Jet Drive Exchange, based in Ocean City, is reinventing traditional boat ownership to reduce expenses, and the hassle-factor.  In exchange for a one-time activation fee plus an annual package fee, members can enjoy unlimited use of a jet ski or boat during the summer season, without any slip fees, cleaning, or maintenance.  Reserve your choice of times, use the boat, and return it to the dock!  Jet Drive Exchange is located at 228 Bay Avenue in Ocean City, and offers a variety of packages depending upon your boating desires.  Check them out here: https://www.jetdriveexchange.com/

THE ISLAND IS ALIVE with activity!  Restaurants and stores are open and ready for business, while homeowners make last minute preparations.  You can feel the excitement!  If the forecast holds we should be enjoying temperatures in the 70s with partly sunny skies over the weekend!

REMEMBERING THOSE WHO HAVE MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE:  Both Avalon and Stone Harbor will hold Memorial Day Ceremonies and Parades.  Avalon’s Parade along Dune Drive will begin at 9am with a ceremony to follow at Veteran’s Plaza at 21st & Dune Drive at 9:45am.  In Stone Harbor a Memorial Service for Fallen Heroes will be held at 11am at the Fire Department Monument.  Stone Harbor’s parade begins at noon and proceeds from the 96th Street bridge to the Women’s Civic Club, where a memorial service will be held at 1pm.  An afternoon open house will be held at American Legion Post #331 at 11627 Second Avenue beginning at 1pm.


Enjoy the long weekend while remembering those who have sacrificed so much!
