Point Pleasant Beach has been named as one of the top beachfront stretches in New Jersey by the New Jersey Marine Science Consortium.

The lovely family-friendly Point Pleasant Beach is located within Ocean County and is home to a scenic mile-long boardwalk that stretches along expansive pristine Atlantic Ocean beachfront areas.

Visitors can explore the lively attractions of Jenkinson's Boardwalk, which is home to a plethora of candy and ice cream shops, sausage vendors, and activities like arcade games and miniature golf. Jenkinson's Aquarium showcases marine life exhibits, while Uncle Vinnie's Comedy Club presents regular comedy performances. Delicious Portuguese cuisine is served daily at acclaimed Europa South.
