Avalon - 30th Street
Edit SpotAbout
Avalon is the only place I've surfed. I've spent almost every summer of my life here. I love the town. Although the waves aren't huge, there enough and can get larger.
Atmosphere:
Avalon is a relaxing, fun town. Most of the surfers are agreeable. Many are in their teens, mostly late teens and early twenties. The waves are best during August and the fall, because storm activity is higher.

This is the designated surf beach for Avalon during the summer. When Life Guards are on duty this is one of the only places to surf, during the off season and between 5pm and 10am, any place can be used. Just come on to the beach (make sure you have a beach tag) and start surfing.
