Review:
Point Pleasant Beach has been named as one of New Jersey's best beaches by the New Jersey Marine Science Consortium's 2008 Top 10 Beaches Contest.
The family-friendly beach, which is located in Ocean County, is known for its expansive pristine beachfront stretches and scenic mile-long boardwalk.
Visitors can stroll the beach's Jenkinson's Boardwalk, which is lined with cotton candy, popcorn, ice cream, and sausage vendors, and play lively games of miniature golf or games of chance.
Unique attractions include Jenkinson's Aquarium and Uncle Vinnie's Comedy Club.
Point Pleasant Beach is also known as an antiquer's paradise, home to delightful antique stores like the Point Pavilion Antique Center. Many to-go and full-service restaurants line the boardwalk, including the renowned Europa South restaurant, which serves up delicious Portuguese cuisine options.
