Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update May 30, 2024

May 29, 2024 By Bill Leahy

We’re excited to be in our brand-new office at our old familiar location!  Last week we held a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the occasion!  Stop by and see us at 2907 Dune Drive in Avalon!

WHAT A WEEKEND!  Mostly sunny skies prevailed on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, allowing for a great summer kick off weekend.  Beaches were filled, shops and restaurants were busy, and family barbecues were plentiful!  On Monday rain and thunderstorms were a threat all day, but they held off long enough to allow for Memorial Day parades and services in both Avalon and Stone Harbor.  Perhaps the only downside to a fun-filled long weekend at the shore is the traffic!  A long line of westbound cars could be seen on all major roadways Monday afternoon.

THE 7 MILE JITNEY is back for 2024.  Service began over Memorial Day Weekend, and jitneys will run Friday and Saturday evenings, from 6pm to 2:30am, through Labor Day.  The jitney offers low cost transportation to the business districts in Avalon and Stone Harbor, eliminating the need to drive—and park—in town.​

A DOLPHIN THAT HAD BEEN STUCK in a tidal creek has died.  For several days the dolphin swam in the creek in Cape May Court House, about two miles from the Delaware Bay.  The Marine Mammal Stranding Center coordinated two attempts to rescue the dolphin, but initial efforts to herd it out of the creek were unsuccessful.  As a last resort rescuers attempted to capture the dolphin in a net, but it reportedly panicked, and died minutes later.

IT’S TURTLE TIME AGAIN!  Annual egg laying season is upon us, and that means keeping an eye out on local roadways for diamondback terrapins.  At this time of year female terrapins seek high ground upon which to lay their eggs, and often cross local roadways to do so.  If you are inclined to help a turtle across the road, first take all necessary steps to ensure your own safety, and then carry the turtle across the road in the direction it was originally headed.
