Why Point Pleasant for Easter?
Jenkinson's Boardwalk hosts a beloved Easter parade and egg hunt that's perfect for families. Kids enter age-group categories while adults compete in the famous bonnet contest with prizes from Jenkinson's and local businesses.
The boardwalk offers more than just the parade - the Jenkinson's Aquarium is open year-round, the arcades are packed with games, and spring brings the Jenkinson's Easter Sale (April 3-5) with the best deals of the year on ride tickets.
Point Pleasant Beach has a nostalgic, classic boardwalk atmosphere that's less overwhelming than larger shore destinations. It's the perfect size for families with younger children.
