Small waves break on the beach as a fishing vessel heads south on a surprisingly calm ocean earlier this week.
GIFTS…AND GIVING: It’s the season for both! If you want to put a little bit of Seven Mile Beach under the tree, here are a few gift ideas that simply say “summer!” And if you’re looking to give back to the place you love, consider making a gift to support a local organization!

WE’VE MOVED TO A NEW TEMPORARY LOCATION! While we’re waiting for our new office to be finished, we’ll be working out of our new temporary location at 2307 Dune Drive in Avalon. Our Stone Harbor office at 150 96th Street remains open as well. If you’re planning a visit to the island, please call or email me in advance so I can be prepared for you!
THE GREAT CHANNEL BRIDGE, linking Stone Harbor with Nummy Island and North Wildwood, will undergo structural repairs as well as replacement of its fender system. Traffic across the bridge will be restricted to one alternating lane. The work is expected to be completed in May 2023.
CONSIDER THE GIFT OF FAMILY MEMORIES! Treat your family to the greatest gift—time together, and the resulting memories. There’s no better place to create them than Avalon & Stone Harbor! From a week-long summer vacation to your very own shore house, I’m ready to help!
