Stone Harbor NJ

Living in Stone Harbor, NJ

The borough of Stone Harbor, New Jersey, combines the tranquility of off-season beach living with the vibrant atmosphere of a popular summer resort. Located in Cape May County on the southern end of the Jersey Shore, it shares the Seven Mile barrier island with the slightly larger community of Avalon. The population of this quaint beachside town swells during the summer season that runs from Memorial Day in May through Labor Day in September.

Outdoor Life in Stone Harbor

Stone Harbor offers gleaming beaches, the cool waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Intercoastal Waterway, and several notable outdoor natural attractions. The Wetlands Institute introduces visitors to the marshes and coastal ecosystems that define the Jersey Shore. With a mixture of exhibits and hands-on experience, the Institute covers more than 6,000 acres and hosts the annual Wings ‘N’ Water art festival and fundraiser.
The Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary, a designated national landmark, is a nature preserve founded on land home to nesting birds that return each year from late spring to early winter. In addition to herons and egrets, the site also attracts monarch butterflies during the fall, and features both saltwater mashes and freshwater meadows.

Housing in Stone Harbor

A nod to summerly population swells, four times as many homes can be found in Stone Harbor as year-round residents. Many of the shore-side homes hearken to an earlier era, with Colonial or Cape-Cod features reminiscent of the quieter beach community Stone Harbor once was. Newer homes range between multi-family units and larger single-family properties. In any case, there is no doubt that homes for sale in Stone Harbor meet a wide range of tastes, whether buyers prefer smaller properties or five- or six-bedroom homes.
