Avon By The Sea, NJ

Avon-By-The-Sea is a historic seaside resort town that delivers the best of the Jersey Shore lifestyle. More commonly known as simply “Avon,” this beach community is largely occupied by quiet suburban streets lined with single-family homes, with several apartments and condos in the mix as well. The beach itself is, naturally, a major draw for locals and visitors alike, and the historic Columns restaurant/nightclub/performance venue across the street from the Avon Pavilion serves as one of the borough’s most popular landmarks.

Main Street on the west side of town is lined with shops and restaurants, from practical necessities like grocers and hardware stores to eclectic eateries and specialty boutiques. When you’re looking for a change of scenery, Philadelphia is only about ninety minutes away and New York City can be reached in just over an hour.
