Avalon and Stone Harbor NJ Weekly Update October 25th,2018 #RealEstate #NJ

SURFSIDE PARK CONSTRUCTION got underway in Avalon this past week.  The new park will be located at 30th Street & the boardwalk and will feature a stage and event area, a play area, restrooms, and a picnic pavilion.  Construction is expected to be finished prior to Memorial Day 2019.  SNJ Today news interviewed Business Administrator Scott Wahl about the park; watch the interview here:http://www.snjtoday.com/story/39337214/avalon-begins-construction-on-new-surfside-park?fbclid=IwAR1fHZexGiwouip0XqttMu1pyD79rGm34Cn5RcKPi1heUWfsvHgZ8OLNqZI

HALLOWEEN FUN this weekend!  A variety of Halloween related activities are available on and around the Island this Saturday.  Stone Harbor’s Harvest Festival (11am-4pm) will feature trick-or-treating in local stores, as well as hayrides.  “Boo at the Zoo” runs from 10am to 2pm at the Cape May County Zoo and features a costume contest, kids’ activities, and of course, animals on display.  Saturday evening Avalon’s Trunk-or-Treat runs from 5pm to 7pm in the 28th Street parking lot.  In addition to treats, there will be pumpkin decorating, funnel cake, and caramel apples!


Capturing the subtle colors of an October sunset…as the sun sank over the bay, the soft pink hue over the ocean reflected on the wet beach sand.

DOZENS OF VOLUNTEERS helped last weekend with Beach Sweeps in Avalon & Stone Harbor, and dune grass planting in Avalon.  Thanks to all who helped clean and improve our beaches & dunes!  Avalon’s dunes are scheduled to receive an aerial fertilization this week.

FALL FISHING remains hot!  Summertime catches of flounder, tuna, and mahi-mahi have given way to sea bass, tautog, and stripers.  Day boats are reporting strong catches of sea bass, with anglers hitting their daily limits.  Stripers are beginning to show up in local waters as they move southward.  Water temperatures are still in the sixties, and striper catches will likely improve further as cooler weather and water move in.

SAVE THE DATE: THANKSGIVING WEEKEND!  The always-popular Thanksgiving Weekend is just four weeks away, and will once again feature a variety of family-oriented holiday activities.  Avalon will offer it’s Festive Friday & Snowfest Saturday, while Stone Harbor will host its Island Holiday celebration.  The weekend concludes with a huge Christmas parade in Stone Harbor Saturday night.  Put the weekend on your calendar—more details to follow!
