Get Ready for Shore Season: Beach Tags, Sand Projects, and Home Prep

April 26, 2025

As the 7 Mile Island gears up for another great summer, it’s officially time to start preparing — both for beach days and for your property. Seasonal beach tags for Avalon and Stone Harbor are now on sale at pre-season pricing, giving you unlimited access to 7 miles of beautiful shoreline all summer long.

Quick update for Avalon visitors: The Borough has announced a sand backpassing project this spring to restore beaches between 9th and 15th Streets. Work will take place overnight through June, and some early-season beach access may be temporarily limited in those areas. Stay informed if you're planning to head down early.

Whether you're visiting for a few weekends or settling in for the full season, here's what you need to know:
