The Borough of Avalon recently announced the temporary closures of beach paths in the island's north end due to safety concerns from recent storm-driven erosion.

Beach access paths at 10th, 11th, 14th, and 15th Streets are currently closed until sand restoration can take place. 12th and 13th Streets remain open for beachgoers.

Avalon's sand backpassing project, initially scheduled for April and May following the winter storm season, has been delayed due to emergency bridge repairs on Avalon Boulevard. Repairs are set for completion following Memorial Day weekend, with the restoration project beginning direclty after.

To minimize the inconvenience to visitors, beach replenishment will occur overnight, ending daily by 8am, ensuring beaches are accessible during the day.

For now, beachgoers can access Avalon's north-end beaches via the walking path behind the dunes, offering a short detour around the temporarily closed paths.
