The strip of land from the end of 1st Ave to Ocean Avenue is literally covered in trash all summer long..there are garbage cans there supplied by the town and you will find trash laying right near them. It is one of the most disgusting areas I have seen fishing.
Most of the people who fish this area are not from our area, and trash it every day.
This year they had TENTs set up in the area on many days, right in front of that million dollar home that is for sale...you will find rotten bait, plastic bags, and dead fish along the wall..it is a real shame. THis is not a camping area.
Honestly I don't care if access is lost here, and I am an avid fisherman...If I was an avon resident I would be very upset and probably want access banned also.

The alternative might be to require a saltwater fishing license to educate and weed out the folks who disrespect nature.
