Avalon's Arts & Seafood Festival takes place this weekend!  See below for details!


IS THIS YOUR FAVORITE FALL WEEKEND?  Maybe it should be! The upcoming weekend is three days for most, and brings with it a number of fall favorites here in Avalon and Stone Harbor.  Kick it off with Stone Harbor's Fall Restaurant week beginning Thursday evening at participating restaurants.  Saturday brings Avalon's Arts & Seafood Festival at Surfside Park, offering local seafood, arts, music, hayrides on the beach, livestreamed football games, and a host of family activities.  But save time for a visit to Stone Harbor's Classic & Vintage Car Show on 96th Street.  The annual show brings a variety of beautiful and interesting vehicles.  Add a walk on the beach, island shopping, and dinner at a local restaurant to make it the perfect fall weekend!
 
AVALON BEACHES continue to receive sand as replenishment work continues.  To date, more than 660,000 cubic yards of sand have been placed on north-end beaches.  Work is occurring between 15th and 17th Streets, which are currently closed.  18th to 23rd Street beach paths are currently closed as well due to severe erosion from the nor'easter two weeks ago, but those beaches will be replenished as part of the project.  All other beaches are open to the public. 
 
TIME TO PREP FOR COLDER WEATHER.  While we still have lots of fall to enjoy, it's time to make sure your property is ready for cold weather when it arrives.  Call your pool company, landscaper, plumber, or contractor now to schedule winterization services for outdoor water lines, irrigation systems, pools, and unheated spaces.   Need a recommendation for a service provider? Call or email me.
 
LIFE IS SHORT, BUY THE BEACH HOUSE! There's no better way to ensure family memories that last a lifetime!  Whether you're interested in a modest shore property to purchase for rental income, or looking for a second home big enough to accommodate the whole family, let's talk.  We can discuss your objectives and then get started!
