Jenkinson's Boardwalk, Point Pleasant Beach

Point Pleasant is a great family beach. As you can tell from the photos, it was very crowded Easter weekend and a perfect day. There's so much to do for the whole family and everyone has a lot of fun. There are games and lots of prizes to be won, arcades, rides, aquarium, mini golf, many places to choose from to eat with ocean views, sweet shops all on the Jenkinson's boardwalk. There are special events and live music. It's a very long beach and the sand is pebbly and a lot of broken shells, but very clean sand and water considering all the people. It does get very crowded especially in the summer and parking can be a challenge, but it's such a fun memorable day. If you prefer more of a quiet time, you can sit and relax on the benches at the Inlet and watch the boats come and go. It's so peaceful!

This is my favorite beach to go to. Love it. Careful.. waves are rough here. There is a boardwalk with food, games and rides. You can bring your own cooler but no booze or glass. Under 5 are free. Also there is meter parking on the street and a lot you pay for parking too.
