Why Point Pleasant Beach for Father's Day?
Point Pleasant Beach is built around the Manasquan Inlet, home to one of the Jersey Shore's great fishing fleets. For Father's Day you can step aboard a walk-on party boat — no charter to organize, just buy a ticket and fish — or book a private charter out of the inlet. June puts fluke at their peak and black sea bass thick on the nearby wrecks, so the rails stay busy.
With Father's Day 2026 falling on June 21, the summer solstice, the daylight stretches long. Run a morning bottom-fishing trip out of the inlet, then bring the family to the boardwalk, where Jenkinson's delivers rides, an aquarium, arcades, and beach all in one stop.
It's an easy, classic shore day: fish in the morning, walk the boards in the afternoon, and finish with a dockside seafood dinner watching the boats come back through the inlet.
