How Avalon ranks across the 141 Miles editorial indexes.
The northern half of Seven Mile Island, known for quiet beaches, high-end homes, polished retail, and a restrained resort atmosphere.

It shares the island with Stone Harbor, and the two are often experienced together, though Avalon has its own distinct north-island identity.
