AVALON SAND BACKPASSING: Avalon announced it is planning a sand backpassing project if a hydraulic beach fill doesn’t occur in Spring 2026. Currently, hydraulic beach fills anticipated in Avalon, Stone Harbor, and Ocean City are not federally funded, and lack of federal funding will prevent state funding. Avalon has previously used sand backpassing to supplement beaches between hydraulic fills. Beaches from 10th to 14th Streets suffered serious erosion during fall storms, and will need replenishment during the spring.
STONE HARBOR’S NEW HOLIDAY BEACH TAG was designed by 3rd grader Paxton Smith. Stone Harbor holiday beach tags will be available in limited supply starting Friday, November 28, at the Beach Tag Office, located at 95th Street and the Beach. The tags will be on sale all weekend from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The tags will then be available at Borough Hall, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, while supplies last.
AVALON HOLIDAY BEACH TAGS will be available for purchase during both Festive Friday and Snowfest Saturday at the Avalon Beach Tag Booth located at 30th Street and the beach. The price is $35. Any remaining tags will be sold starting Monday, December 1st, in the Avalon Tax Collector’s Office at Avalon Borough Hall between the hours of 8:15am-4:15pm. Holiday beach tags make great stocking stuffers!
