Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update May 4, 2023

May 4, 2023 By Bill and Kay Leahy

Birds are back!  Birds of all types have returned to the wetlands surrounding Avalon & Stone Harbor.  Great places to view them include the pier at Avalon’s Bay Park Marina at 54th Street & Ocean Drive, Stone Harbor’s 114th Street bulkhead, and the 8th Street Fishing Pier in Avalon.
SIX INCHES OF RAIN fell on Southern New Jersey this past weekend, turning a dry month of April into one of the wettest on record.  Long stretches of rain lasted from mid-day Friday until Monday morning.  High winds lead to a pause in beach replenishment operations (see related article.)
BEACH REPLENISHMENT OPERATIONS were suspended over the weekend due to high winds and heavy seas.  The dredge “Texas” was temporarily moved to Cape May Harbor for a few days to safely ride out the weekend storm.
THE MONTH OF MAY means no more blinking traffic lights, “no turn on red” goes into effect, and the end of free parking at metered spots in Stone Harbor.  This year Stone Harbor parking meters have been removed and replaced with ParkMobile.  To pay for parking the ParkMobile app can be added to your smartphone, or you can scan the QR code on the nearest ParkMobile sign, or text “Park” to 77223.
ParkMobile has replaced parking meters in Stone Harbor. 
NEW TRASH & RECYCLING CONTAINERS have begun arriving at properties in Avalon.  The new rolling carts will be delivered over the next several days.  Stone Harbor’s new trash & recycling requirements also go into effect this month.  See the FAQs for each town:
