Fourth Nor'easter...

-


Avalon & Stone Harbor may not have gotten the 4 to 8 inches of snow but we did get the high winds and coastal flooding.  The Press of Atlantic City's staff photographer, Dale Gerhard,  took a great picture of a home which is probably the closest home to the ocean in Avalon.  Other pictures that are included show the loss of beach in the North End.   With all that said, there is not an Island
along the East Coast that has not been damaged in some way.  Avalon & Stone Harbor are no exception.  What we do have though are Mayors & Council members who are always working  to  find innovative ways to protect our Island and our Beaches!   Kudos to Mayors Marty Pagliughi and Judy Davies-Dunhour.!

TIME FOR DUNE GRASS PLANTING!

TIME FOR DUNE GRASS PLANTING! Those of us who live or have homes on the Island, know the value of this project. The rhizomes anchor the sand and grow horizontally, thus producing new shoots and roots systems for new plants. Volunteers are needed. If you decide to participate, call Sue Keen, Mayor Pagliughi’s Secretary – 609-967-5924 After planting, a box lunch will be provided. Raindate is Sunday, the 18th of April. Bring your children and grandchildren! Looking forward to seeing all the early risers there! Miriam

Covid-19 in Avalon/Stone Harbor...what's happening...

-

While our Country is soaring with the virus, Avalon and Stone Harbor seem to be dealing pretty well with it. I might start by saying that locals and visitors take mask wearing seriously. You cannot get into a store or restaurant without a mask. People even walk the boardwalk in Avalon with a mask even though no one may be around them. So it is not surprising then that since February/March of 2019, (11 months) Avalon has had only 70 cases of Covid 19 with 3 active as of January 23rd and Stone Harbor a total of 33 with 1 active presently. Overall Cape May County has had a total of 5554 cases with most of the cases in Lower, Middle and Upper Township. Initially the County only had Avalon Community Hall giving the Covid-19 shots but 3 more centers have been opened up: the Dept of Health in Crest Haven, Shop Rite stores in Rio Grande and Marmora. You will need to call for an appt. There are no walk-ins. Stay Safe! Mriam Kauterman, 609-602-8470 cell

Summer Rentals are Quickly Disappearing!

If you have not secured a summer rental yet for 2021, you could be in trouble. The number of rental homes is dwindling due to new Construction and the Pandemic. Also, past rental owners have decided to use the property themselves. Avalon used to have over 1200 homes for rent but, we are now between 900- 1000. With last years bookings for 2021, new rentals and fewer homes, it is getting difficult to find a rental. My word of advice to everyone looking to rent this summer, BOOK NOW!
