Planning an escape to Avalon and Stone Harbor? You’re in for a treat!

Avalon and Stone Harbor are renowned for their beautiful beaches, unique shopping and dining, and fun-filled activities. Here are our Top 5 recommendations to enjoy the island this week.

Unwind

We’ll start with the most obvious and the most popular. Let’s hit the beach. Grab a book from the library, and plan your day around the tides. Enjoy the sun, sand, and salt air for the perfect beach day (or as we like to call it - a 10/10 day at the beach). Just don’t forget the sunscreen!

Play

There are plenty of places to enjoy regardless of your age and outlook. For families, a must-do is Stone Harbor’s Island Water Sports, or one of the many mini golf courses throughout the island. Rainy day? No worries, plan an afternoon at the movies, with dinner at the Harbor Burger Bar to follow! 

Shop

Whether you’re searching for beach-inspired home decor, a new outfit to hit the town, or a distinctive piece of handmade jewelry, there are a ton of diverse shopping options to enjoy as you stroll down Avalon’s Dune Drive and Stone Harbor’s 96th Street. 

Dine

You can’t go wrong with some fresh seafood! Or pasta. Or pizza. Or pancakes. Whatever you are craving, this island has just what you’re looking for. From casual lobster shacks like the new Quincy’s to upscale oceanfront dining at the Icona Windrift, treat your taste buds to the culinary delights that 7 Mile Island has to offer.
