Avon-by-the-Sea is a small Victorian seaside community, or "Borough," located approximately 60 miles from New York City and Philadelphia. It is surrounded on three sides by water - the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Shark River to the south and to the north is Sylvan Lake. Avon-by-the Sea has pristine white sandy beaches and a picturesque "non-commercial" boardwalk that runs the entire length of the Borough, replete with Victorian lamps, benches and pavilions. The community of Avon-by-the-Sea also offers fine restaurants and quaint shops and several lovely, historic bed & breakfast inns. In addition to the beach, there is a municipally owned and operated pool in Avon-by-the-Sea, and other recreational activities include basking in the sun on the beach, fishing, boating, scuba diving, biking and golf. Concerts are given on the boardwalk in Avon-by-the-Sea nearly every night at 7:30 p.m., July and August. For a relaxing, peaceful vacation retreat, this town is one of New Jersey "best kept secrets" - full of old-fashioned charm and hospitality and great ocean views.

Avon by the Sea Weather & Climate

Northwestern New Jersey has mountains and highlands that play a significant role in the weather. Summer thunderstorms from Pennsylvania and New York often move into this region, which has about twice as many thunderstorms as the coastal zone of New Jersey. The Northern climate zone also has the shortest growing season - about 155 days. The classification for north-northwestern New Jersey is humid continental and has slightly cooler temperatures due to the elevation. Average temperatures in winter are usually just below freezing. Spring and autumn may feature wide temperature variations, with lower humidity than summer. Snowfall varies year to year, but is about 40-50 inches in the northwestern highlands.
