A. Lewis Purdy Real Estate, Inc. Take a Tour of Avalon and Stone Harbor
When planning a summer vacation in Avalon or Stone Harbor, its important to pick the right location. For some, only oceanfront will do. Some like the bay and boating access. Others aren’t so sure...
The first consideration should be based on which part of the island suits you best. Avalon, from North to South is broken into the following locally named sections: the North End, Center of Town, Over the Bridge, the High Dunes, the Lagoons and the South End. In Stone Harbor you have the North End and South End. Each section in both Avalon and Stone Harbor offer something slightly different based on your needs.

Avalon - The High Dunes and The LagoonsOnce the high dunes were so big they stopped the rail service and people had to walk around them to get to Stone Harbor. Now they’re the last remnants of the island’s amazing dune system which is dotted with spectacular homes - certainly one of the most private locations on the island. The island populous begins to thin out at this point making the beaches here more private and quiet as well. If the bay, boating and sunsets are your forte’ you’ll appreciate all the Lagoons have to offer. Many incredible homes line the tidal waters, most with docks, piers and access to the inter-coastal waterway. |

Avalon - The South EndThe South End is the thinnest, quietest part of the island. The beaches are both the widest and the least populated. If you want to be away from the noise in town this is the place to be. Even a bayfront home is only a block and a half the beach. As you get closer to the Stone Harbor border things pick up as the island’s hotels and motels are mostly located at the border itself which is 80th Street. |
