Avalon Pier Looking East

The Avalon Fishing Pier

Reaching east from 32nd Street into the Atlantic Ocean, the historic Avalon Fishing Pier is one of the shore town's most iconic landmarks. This vantage looks straight out along the timber structure toward the open water, where anglers cast lines and walkers take in the sea air.

A Quieter Jersey Shore

Unlike the busy commercial boardwalks of neighboring resorts, Avalon offers a calm, upscale beach experience built around walking, biking, fishing and wide ocean views. The island extends farther into the Atlantic than nearby towns, earning it the affectionate nickname Cooler by a Mile.

Ocean & Coastal Views

The east-facing frame captures the rolling Atlantic surf, the dune-lined shoreline and the ever-changing coastal horizon. It is a favorite spot for watching surfers, fishermen and the steady rhythm of the waves.

Fishing Heritage

Fishing has long been part of Avalon's coastal identity. The pier and its public fishing areas remain a beloved gathering place, carrying forward a maritime tradition that stretches back to the town's earliest years.
