Point Pleasant Beach has been named as one of New Jersey's most popular beachfront districts by the New Jersey Marine Science Consortium, home to some of the state's top family-friendly beachfront attractions. The charming Ocean County beach is known for its mile-long Atlantic Coast boardwalk, which is home to attractions like the lively Jenkinson's Boardwalk entertainment district. Visitors can enjoy high and mild thrill rides at Jenkinson's, try locally-made ice cream and candy, or test their luck at the region's popular miniature golf courses and arcades.

Marine life exhibits are on display at Jenkinson's Aquarium, while comedy performers take to the stage nightly at Uncle Vinnie's Comedy Club. Nearby, Manasquan Beach offers opportunities for swimming and fishing, while the Fisherman's Cove Conservation Area offers chances for frolicking with four-legged friends off-leash. Map
