Philadelphia STYLE Magazine readers voted Avalon, New Jersey "Best Shore Town" in the July/August issue. One of the contributing factors was Avalon's pristine beaches.
The Washingtonian voted Avalon's beaches the best in New Jersey because of it's safe swimming, gentle surf, natural dunes, and wide beach. We also have a great boardwalk that runs from 21st st to 32nd perfect for morning and evening strolls.
