It’s almost time to claim your spot in the sand!
BEACH UPDATE: As of the beginning of this week, 471,000 cubic yards of sand had been added to Avalon’s newly widened beaches. Work has progressed southward to 17th Street thus far, and will continue around the clock until nearly 600,000 cubic yards of sand have been pumped onto the beaches. Once Avalon’s beaches are completed work will shift to Stone Harbor.
IT’S AVALON’S SPRING FLING WEEKEND! See below for individual event listings. There’s plenty going on in Stone Harbor, too!
THE FINAL PUSH: With activity as our summer season approaches. Owners are cleaning, contractors are repairing, deliveries of new deck furniture are taking place—everywhere you look, everyone is making the final push to be ready for the season! If you need a last-minute contractor recommendation, call or email me.
IT’S TURTLE TIME AGAIN! Each year diamondback terrapins leave the water to seek high ground on which to lay eggs. In doing so they often cross local roadways, where they are at risk from passing vehicles. Egg laying continues well into July, so keep an eye out for turtles and give ’em a ‘brake’! If you’re inclined to help a turtle out of harms way, please be aware of traffic and take steps to protect yourself, then cross the turtle in the direction it was headed.
54 FAMILIES have taken the leap and purchased their own shore property since the first of the year—and 35 more have a property under contract for settlement soon. How about you? If you’ve always wanted your own shore property, why not make it happen? Please call or email me. Let’s discuss your goals and put a plan in place to achieve them!
JUST TWO WEEKS until Memorial Day Weekend!
