Avalon/Stone Harbor NJ Weekly Update August 18th, 2016



AN OCEAN DRIVE PROJECT between 29th and 62nd Streets in Avalon is anticipated next spring.  The county project would bring that section of the roadway into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act with new sidewalks, and also elevate the roadway to help alleviate flooding and improve drainage.  Work is anticipated to begin in March 2017, breaking in June for the summer season, and then resuming in September.

FROM 83 TO 69! The ocean surf temperature reached a record 83.3 degrees last Wednesday in Atlantic City, with Cape May seeing 81.7 degrees.  By Friday the wind had shifted to a southwesterly direction, moving the warm water offshore.  “Upwelling” brought cooler water to the surface, taking the surf temperature back down to a refreshing 69 degrees.  The average surf temperature at this time of year is 74 degrees.

FALLFORTHEJERSEYCAPE.COM highlights great fall and events in Cape May County.  The county’s Department of Tourism operates the site as part of their “Boomerang” marketing campaign, designed to bring visitors back to the Jersey Cape for fall (and spring) getaways, in addition to traditional summer vacations.  From classic car shows to theater events to nature celebrations to airshows—you will find a great line up of Jersey Cape events on the site!  Visit www.FallfortheJerseyCape.com to check it out!

FALL MIGRATION FESTIVAL:  Speaking of fall activities, one of the most popular is The Wetland’s Institute’s annual Fall Migration Festival, which will be held Saturday & Sunday, September 17-18.  This year’s festival will feature guided nature walks, back-bay boat and kayak tours, live butterfly presentations, crafts, and more.  Single day tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for a child; two-day tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for a child.  Visit  http://wetlandsinstitute.org/events/fall-migration-festival/for more details.

SUMMER BUCKET LIST TIME!  With just a couple of weeks of “prime” summer season left, it’s time to check your Summer Bucket List for those “gotta do it!” items.  Take a little time for you and your family—enjoy the summer and make some memories!
