With a stunning 127-mile (204 km) beautiful beachline, one of the most premiere and popular towns on the Jersey Shore is Avalon, an oceanfront town with the distinct character of jutting out a mile more into the waters of the Atlantic as compared to its barrier island contemporaries. It’s due to this that Avalon, a famous South Jersey seashore resort, possesses the motto of ‘Cooler by a Mile’, and was even ranked New Jersey’s seventh-best beach in the 2008 ‘Top 10 Beaches Contest’. Famous for being the ‘chicest beach’ in the mid-Atlantic and featuring designer swimwear and diamonds, Avalon is the place to be this vacation, whether summer or winter. Check out this article to amp up your Jersey Shore vacation by staying at these beach vacation rentals in Avalon, New Jersey.
