 Traveller
Information Avalon Beach | Avalon,
northern sister to Stone Harbor on 7 Mile beach, enjoys the same low-key atmosphere
of Stone Harbor, with a few additional enticements. Avalon features a modest boardwalk,
and for those seeking a more active vacation, a large fleet of excursion fishing
boats are available. If you prefer to do your casting with your feet planted firmly
on the ground, try your luck from one of Avalon's numerous piers and jetties. Since
Avalon is in such close proximity to Wildwood, most of the more gaudy attractions
have been left by the wayside, leaving the Avalon beachfront with a very natural,
undeveloped feeling. This does not, however, leave the comfort and entertainment
of its visitors completely unthought of. There are several fine restaurants, taverns
and hotels in the area. Generally, Avalon seems to appeal to families and
30-somethings who are trying to find a quiet place along the Jersey Shore to call
their own. There's not enough happening on the half-mile boardwalk to attract
the attention of many teenagers, leaving Avalon a nice place for daytrippers or
vacationers to plan some time in the sun where you can still lay back and
hear the sound of the surf. | | |
