Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update September 4, 2025

September 4, 2025 By Bill Leahy

The last bit of golden sunlight is visible during the last bit of Labor Day Weekend!

ANOTHER GREAT WEEKEND!  Labor Day Weekend gave us sunny, blue skies, cool breezes, and low humidity—perfect for enjoying the “last” bit of summer!  Good crowds of visitors were seen on the beach, in local shops and restaurants, and on our waterways.

OUR “SECOND SUMMER” STARTS NOW!  Labor Day may have passed, but it’s the start of something good…our “Second Summer!”  Long anticipated by locals and visitors alike, the weather is gorgeous and the water is still warm, but the crowds are thinner and the traffic is lighter.   Whether you’re going out fishing or going out to eat, hitting the beach or hitting the shops, enjoy a slightly more relaxed vibe during our “Second Summer!”

FALL IS EVENT SEASON here at the shore!  Each weekend brings us new events and activities to enjoy, along with our beautiful fall weather.  See my Upcoming Events list below for ideas on how to enjoy the shore while visiting in the fall!

KEEP AN EYE ON THE SKY!  If you missed last weekend’s AirFest at Naval Air Station Wildwood, be sure to catch Thunder Over the Waves Airshow in Wildwood.  The show is centered over the Wildwood beach, but will be visible from many areas.  You may even see aircraft from the beaches of Avalon and Stone Harbor as they arrive and depart the show!  See below for more details on the air show.

MISSING THE SHORE ALREADY?  Why not make it a permanent part of your life?  Your own shore property means year-round enjoyment, from summer vacations to fall weekends to winter getaways!  Let’s discuss your needs, and I’ll get started finding you the perfect shore retreat!
