AVALON’S CLAIM THAT IT IS “COOLER BY A MILE” results
from the fact that it extends one mile further into the
ocean than the other barrier islands. Avalon is a quiet, relaxing
resort town. The white sandy beaches are not crowded and the
ocean is clean and cool. Here you can enjoy walking in the
water, splashing in the surf, building sandcastles by the
water's edge or reading a good book. Or you can just sit with your feet in the water and enjoy the
sights and sounds of the breaking waves and
the seagulls as they soar overhead. Whatever your
choice, this is where you want to be......
Did you know
that Avalon, New Jersey is the premiere
family-oriented vacation shore community in Southern
New Jersey? Avalon offers a beautiful bathing beach,
opportunities for fishing and crabbing, tennis
courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, parks, a
number of summer sports camps, many fine restaurants
and shops and family activities.
Amusement parks
and water-parks are only a twenty minute ride if you
head south on Ocean Drive...offering exciting games
and rides to satisfy the most adventure seeking
spirit. We have historic villages, beautiful
gardens, cultural arts, golf, antique shops, and
whatever else suits your pleasure within a few
minutes' ride of Avalon.
High dunes
protect the
beaches. By
planting special grasses and
natural foliage in these dunes, beach erosion has
been minimal. The beaches are further protected by
not allowing trespassing on them and by using
walkways at the street ends to access the beach.
Beach tags are required here. Not only does
Avalon pride itself on its beaches, but the town
also has beautiful parks and playgrounds which is
maintained by private citizens. There is always something
to do in this town and their
calendar of events
is full of fun and exciting things for everyone in
your family to enjoy.

 If you’re looking for a relaxing pastime during your stay,
boating and fishing
are highly recommended. You can surf fish
or fish from the piers and jetties throughout town. The
Avalon Sport Fishing Center- 14th and Ocean Drive is home port for charter boats.
Then there is always my favorite pastime -
shopping!
Avalon is very much like Stone Harbor except that there
is a small half mile boardwalk by the beach. BICYCLES
are permitted on the boardwalk ONLY between 5 AM & 10
AM. Motorized bicycles, skateboards, roller skates,
roller blades, and mopeds are NOT PERMITTED on the
boardwalk at ANYTIME.
Because
Wildwood is so close, there is no need to have the
amusements that can be so easily found just a few miles
away.
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.

School is situated at 32nd Street and Ocean Drive -
