The Paper Peddler serves its purpose best as a place to pick up daily local and national newspapers as well as magazines. The shop also sells lottery tickets and has a decent selection of mostly new paperback and hardback books. The limited space available means that the book selection is marginal at best, and one should not go here expecting to find less-popular releases. As many seashore shops do, this store sells some vacation essentials like beach games and t-shirts. The staff could be more friendly and usually seems to be unwilling to help customers do much besides check out. Prices ar egenerally set at retail with no discounts on most books. There are some children's books, but be careful with kids because they keep adult magazines at the top row of the magazine racks (out of reach but not necessarily out of sight of small children).

This store is a little hidden gem off the main drag. It is located on 21st Street in Avalon where it is known for restaurants and night clubs so I was shocked to find such a great store. The vibe is really relaxed and the sales people very helpful but not too pushy. They even told me not to buy a certain pair of pants because they did not look right on my body type --- and they were right!! Everything is displayed by coordinating color which makes it really easy to shop. It is now my first stop in shopping while in the Avalon area.
Pros: Great sales staff; large dressing rooms; plenty of free parking
Cons: They usually only carry one of each item. If you see it; like it; you better buy it because there is not more

Hoy's sells all kinds of different things from local souvenirs (t-shirts, postcards), to toys, candy, cookware, greeting cards, etc. It's designed to be a one-stop shop for just about everything but groceries while you visit the NJ Shore. In this respect, it does a pretty good job. You do pay for this convenience though as virtually every item is price 10-20% (or more) above retail. The store's aisles are fairly narrow which creates a problem when the store is crowded. The staff seems competent but usually unwilling to attend to customer requests. Hoy's scores high marks for selection and convenience but charges a premium for their goods.
