Three years late here, but problems still exist. People are treated like they never have been in the ocean before. The 90 year old "captain" really needs to retire or take some lessons from beach patrols in LBI.

My husbands parents have had a house in Avalon for 15 years. We choose now to take our children to the beaches in Stone Harbor where you can throw a ball while standing by the water. Where you only hear a whistle if someone is in complete danger (which is rare). Where the ice cream man wheels his cart on the beach rather than make our kids walk a mile in hot sand to only have their ice cream melt before they back to the towel. Please change your rules so we can come back to our Avalon beach!!

The worst thing about Avalon is the lifeguards. Power trip

Having life guards stationed in the water is a good idea, but when the water is freezing as it has been at certain times this season, it becomes a little dangerous. Those young men and women take 1 hour shifts in the freezing water. It could complicate things if they were to be needed in a rescue. Think of our lifeguards safety too!

The beach should be an enjoyable place to go and it should not be run by a nazi like beach patrol

This guy has got to go. I was a lifeguard and worked under ABP Cpt. Murray Wolfe. He runs the beaches of Avalon like a dictator with no regard to the actual safety of the beach patrons of Avalon. When it comes to surfing and surfers he is ruthless. Set that beach free

The leadership at Abp is awful run by a bully and his sons. Instead of focusing on competitions and winning they should focus on hiring and maintaining good lifeguards.

Safety is important, but its the worst when people are over cautious, it really can take away from the fun. Seriously we aren't allowed to play football on the beach. That's like telling your teenage child that they can't drive your car because they could crash it. They will just find another way to drive. There are plenty of beaches that do allow you to play whatever you want on the beach.

Ease up on some things. No football or frisbee on the beach is a little rediculous.

#FreeAvalon...ABP needs leadership. The lifeguards, residents and visitors to our beautiful beaches in Avalon deserve better. It is not healthy for a beach patrol to be permitted to curse at beachgoers, curse and denigrate 16-17 year old lifeguards, especially females, change the rules constantly, make up new rules and not answer to anyone. Enough is enough!

totally agree the lifeguards are absolutely afraid of capt wolf. Many have suggested that if they even hint that they disagree with anything said by wolf that they will be fired. this is no way to run a beach. btw I would like a sensible and rational answer as to why paddleboards are not allowed in the surfing beaches. not one lifeguard has given me a sensible answer. safety doesn't fly. paddleboards are actually more safe than surfboards no
