THE TOWNSEND’S INLET BRIDGE is scheduled to reopen to vehicular traffic on Friday, February 12th. The rebuilding of the roadway leading to the Avalon side of the bridge is mostly complete. Once the bridge reopens it’s expected to remain open, unless temporary lane closures are needed to complete maintenance work.
A brisk wind blows spray off the top of a wave as it makes its way toward the beach.

NINE NEW PAIRS of bald eagles have been identified in southern New Jersey, with a total of 161 nesting pairs identified throughout the state. Preferring to live in wooded areas near open water, South Jersey is home to a significant portion of the state’s bald eagle population, with more than 40% of bald eagle pairs living near the Delaware Bay shoreline, including Cape May, Cumberland, and Salem Counties. Whether you’re bird watching, whale watching, or fishing, Avalon & Stone Harbor are central to the many wildlife-related activities on the Jersey Cape!
