Quiet coastal area with community-oriented amenities
Surrounded by water on all three sides, Avon-by-the-Sea is a quaint coastal borough with a tight-knit community atmosphere. Unlike other parts of the Jersey Shore, this residential area isn’t overrun by throngs of tourists. Residents of sizable Victorian houses and ocean-facing colonial condos benefit from easy access to white sand beaches and long-established local restaurants. “Proximity to the beach is a primary reason people come to this beautiful seaside town and most homes are in walking distance,” says Laura Parios-McBride, a sales associate with Ward Wight Sotheby's International Realty.
The boardwalk in Avon-By-The-Sea is a popular walk.
The Main Street district blends Condo's, housing, and shops in Avon-By-The-Sea.

Well-maintained ocean beach and boardwalk
While the pathway-lined Shark River runs to the south, Sylvan Lake–to the north–plays host to swans and geese. "The boardwalk connects Asbury Park all the way through Avon by the Sea to Spring Lake," Parios-McBride says. This well-maintained Victorian walkway offers early 20th-century charm, includes public restrooms and incorporates covered structures for sun protection during the dog days of summer. However, there aren’t any souvenir shops like in other parts of the Jersey Shore. Avon Beach is the neighborhood's main attraction, with Atlantic Ocean surfing and ample parking throughout the warmer months. Visitors are required to purchase seasonal or daily badges, a policy that keeps the crowds down. Strick rules about playing music, littering, and setting up tents keep the beach pristine. The municipal pool is another less sandy option for swimming and sunbathing. Residents can keep their boats and kayaks at the Avon Marina for a low fee. Avon Field is used for baseball and softball games. The local government also maintains public tennis courts near Jefferson Avenue, which can be reserved upon request.
Nothing beats a walk on the boardwalk with your dog in Avon-by-the-Sea.
