Stone Harbor New Jersey
Stone Harbor sits on the south end of the barrier island, with Avalon to its north. The New York Times once described Stone Harbor as a place of "gleaming McMansions and elegant shops”. It is known for the beautiful beaches, wetlands, boating, restaurants, festivals and of course, 96th Street’s charming avenue of local shops, eateries and movie theatre.
HISTORY OF STONE HARBOR
Stone Harbor was marketed as a beach town resort in the late 19th Century. It was geared towards the affluent people of Philadelphia seeking a second home for the summers. Stone Harbor become a Borough on April 3rd, 1914. It is said that the borough was named for an English sea captain named Stone who sought shelter from a storm in the area. In 1893 the first cottages were built from 80th to 83rd Streets and it wasn’t until 1907 that the dunes were leveled. The only way to get to Stone Harbor was by train through Townsends inlet until the 96th Street highway was built in 1911and a second railroad connected Stone Harbor to Reading Railroad System in Cape May Court House.
"7 MILE ISLAND"
Originally known as “7 Mile Beach”, the Barrier Island Avalon and Stone Harbor are now referred to as “7 Mile Island”. Avalon is 4 miles and Stone Harbor is 3 miles long located on the south end of the Island starting from 80th Street to 122nd Street which is the southern most part of the barrier island.
