Avalon is located in the Southern Shore Region of Cap May County on Seven Mile Island, a barrier island off the coast of New Jersey. The town's motto, "Cooler By a Mile," is in reference to its' location at the northern tip of Seven Mile Island. The town's five miles of white sand beach has been voted as the safest and "best beach in New Jersey" by The Washingtonian Magazine. A ½ mile long boardwalk stretches out next to part of the beach, and can be used for walking, jogging and biking (roller blades and skateboards are not allowed on the boardwalk.) Avalon is also home to one of the only remaining high dune systems on the East Coast. The clean, wide beach is good for sunbathing, sand castle building, shelling, volleyball, long walks in the surf, claming and crabbing, and the gentle surf is great for swimming. Other activities in the area include charters for sightseeing and fishing excursions, whale watching, wind surfing, water skiing, hiking, biking, tennis and picnicking. Several great golf courses are within a 15-mile radius of Avalon Beach. However, attractions are not limited to outdoor recreation in Avalon. The town is quite famous for its' outstanding seafood restaurants that attract visitors from all over the East Coast. You'll find everything from "island food," (which basically means great, fresh seafood) Mexican, Italian and French. You will also find a charming downtown area with quaint shops and antique stores, art galleries and nearby historic spots and lighthouses to explore. Avalon is just thirty minutes from Atlantic City.

Avalon Weather & Climate

The southeastern tip of New Jersey , near Cape May, has a humid subtropical climate with maritime influences. Continental and oceanic influences battle for dominance in the weather patterns on a daily to weekly bases. The coastal zone generally has warmer temperatures than the interior regions in winter. Sea breezes play a major role in the climate, and offer a cooling effect on hot summer days. Coastal storms, often characterized as nor'easters, are most frequent between October and April. These storms bring strong winds and heavy rains. Rarely does a winter go by without at least one significant coastal storm. Tropical storms and hurricanes are also a special concern along the coast, although plenty of warning is given for these types of storms.
