Avalon/Stone Harbor NJ Weekly Update May 26, 2016



MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND is upon us!  The Island is buzzing with activity as homeowners prepare for the season and visitors arrive to kick off the summer season.  Avalon & Stone Harbor will observe Memorial Day with parades and ceremonies on Monday.  See the event list below for details.

THE AJ MEERWALD, New Jersey’s tall ship, is back in the water after wintertime repairs were completed at Yank Marine, including hull repairs and electrical system upgrades.  The Meerwald will cruise the waters of New Jersey and New York through the fall.  In August, the Meerwald will visit Cape May and Atlantic City for tours and public sails.

SEASON BEACH TAGS are discounted through May 31st in Avalon & Stone Harbor.  If you’re here over Memorial Day Weekend, purchase your season tags for $22.  On June 1st, the cost of a season tag will rise to $27.
Finally!  It’s time to hang up your shoes and hit the beach!

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE BEACH!  The New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium strives to protect and promote New Jersey’s marine and coastal resources.  Their “Favorite Beach” contest helps promote awareness of New Jersey’s beaches.  Cast your vote here:  http://njseagrant.org/njfavoritebeach/
