Jersey shore 2013 - Cape May to Avalon


Cape May to Avalon

One of the goals of this trip was to find the best bagel on the Jersey shore!  Found a place today, but just a so-so bagel... but eating it while gazing at the Atlantic makes it taste just a little better!
 

 
Yesterday, while hitting a couple shops, we got a tip on where to find beach glass.  In my book, that trumps everything, even food, so before we ate we headed to Sunset Beach in Cape May to see what treasures we could find.  Turns out, a lot of people beat us there!  I found a couple pieces, but I bet coming in off season would help my treasure hunt for beach glass!

Our adventure of the Jersey shore continued to the Wildwoods...wow has that place changed since I was a kid.  We even drove past the hotel in North Wildwood where we used to stay with my grandparents...gone! :(  We continued north through Stone Harbor, where they were doing beach replenishment, then on to Avalon.  Both of the towns were quaint, little, low-key towns that would be cool to check out off season when they aren't so busy.



We beached for a couple hours in Avalon.  We ended up avoiding the charge of a beach tag...just casually get in the water when you see the patrol lady coming!  We got that advice from a nice boy as we were going onto the beach!


We camped at Avalon Campground - it was an ok campground.  The sites are close to each other and bathrooms just so-so.  We decided to go into Stone Harbor to get something to eat and then check out Springer's for ice cream (rated #3 on Trip Advisor) - we knew when we got there it had to be good by the length of the line!!  Doug tried almond amaretto and I had mint chocolate chip. We decided it was worth the wait...
