Art Lover’s Guide to Avalon, NJ
They don’t call Avalon cooler by a mile for no reason. Its 7-mile beach attracts visitors from near and far, but there’s a lot more to Avalon than all that fun in the sun, and this includes a vibrant art scene that can make your visit that much more exciting. If you’re ready to enjoy everything that Avalon has to offer, we invite you to stay with us at the Beachcomber Resort – where you’ll be just steps from the beach and a mere three miles from the art studios of Avalon.
