Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update June 6, 2024

June 6, 2024 By Bill Leahy

A scene from Holdyn Barder’s video “Stone Harbor.”  See below for more on Holdyn, and a link to his video!

BEACH UPDATE: Avalon’s sand backpassing project paused over the Memorial Day Weekend, and mechanical problems slowed the contractor’s progress afterward.  Sand will begin to be moved this week, and the project is expected to be completed by June 20th.  Avalon Borough Council may add more sand to the initial project, while still keeping it on schedule.

DOLPHINS ARE AROUND!  Numerous pods of dolphins have been sighted both off the beach and in Delaware Bay.  Keep an eye out for them when walking local beaches, or book a trip on the Cape May Whale Watcher cruise.  Visit https://capemaywhalewatcher.com/ and use code “DAD25” for a 25% Father’s Day discount for trips June 15th and 16th!

IF YOU’RE A COUNTRY MUSIC FAN you may be looking forward to the Barefoot Country Music Festival on the beach in Wildwood from June 20th through 23rd.  More than 40 acts will perform on several stages during the event, including Luke Bryan, Keith Urban, Old Dominion, and The Beach Boys.  Stone Harbor’s own Holdyn Barder will perform at the Festival.  Think he’ll perform his hit “Stone Harbor”?  If you’d like to hear it in the mean time, click here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrNkgESZRlY
