Avalon Beaches
Avalon - Cooler by a Mile
According to
the Washingtonian Magazine, Avalon is the "best
beach in New Jersey" because of its gentle
surf, natural dunes and attentive lifeguards.
Because special grasses have been planted in these
dunes, Avalon beaches do not get the beach erosion
that plagues the other coastal towns when a big
storm hits. So while enjoying these spacious
beaches. you
can jump the waves, laze in the sun, build
sandcastles by the water's edge or collect seashells and at the same
time be "cooler by a mile"
Bathing and swimming are permitted only at protected
beaches where lifeguards are on duty -
