Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update October 27, 2022

October 27, 2022 By Bill and Kay Leahy

October sunsets often bring Halloween colors.  Here, the orange glow of the sun reflects off sport fishing boats moored at Avalon Marine Center.
THE NJ DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION surveyed Cape May County beaches following the extended duration nor’easter earlier this month, according to a recent Cape May County Herald article.  The Herald reports that the DEP observed major beach damage from Ocean City to North Wildwood, including dune scarping (cliffs) up to 14 feet tall in Avalon, and up to 10 feet tall in Stone Harbor.  Many pedestrian and vehicle access points were closed on Seven Mile Island due to the damage.  (See the next article for more on local beaches.)
MOST BEACHES in Stone Harbor have reopened for pedestrian and vehicular access, thanks to hard work by the Public Works department.  81st Street to 105th Street, and 113th Street to 123rd Street are now open for pedestrian access, with only 106th to 111th Streets remaining closed due to dune scarping.  Vehicular access is open at 85th, 95th, 102nd, 118th, and 123rd Streets, while 111th Street vehicular access remains closed.  Most beaches in Avalon remain open, but 12th Street through 22nd Street were closed following the storm due to steep drop offs.
FROM MONARCHS TO WHALES, it’s migration season along the coast, and Cape May County is a fantastic place to experience it all.  New Jersey’s geography is such that monarch butterflies and birds migrating south get funneled into Cape May County before they cross the Delaware Bay, providing great viewing opportunities.  Avalon’s north-end seawall and Stone Harbor Point’s viewing platform are great places to scan the skies while bird watching or butterfly spotting.  Whales have been plentiful just off the beach recently, with numerous whales spotted by local boats as well as whale watching trips.
HALLOWEEN takes the island by storm this week!  Trunk or Treat and Trick or Treat are both slated to occur on the island this week, along with Boo at the Zoo at the Cape May County Park & Zoo.  See below for dates and time!
GO PHILLIES!  GO EAGLES!  With the Philadelphia Phillies headed to the World Series and the Philadelphia Eagles undefeated, sports fans throughout the region are engergized!  Go Phillies!  Go Eagles!
