Point Pleasant Beach offers the quintessential family shore experience. Jenkinson's Boardwalk spans the oceanfront with an aquarium featuring sharks and penguins, amusement rides, arcade games, and an array of food options that have delighted families for generations.
Unlike Seaside Heights to the south, Point Pleasant maintains a decidedly family-friendly atmosphere. The beaches are clean and well-maintained, and the town has invested in creating a welcoming environment for visitors of all ages.
Beyond the boardwalk, downtown Point Pleasant Beach offers antique shops, restaurants, and the famous Hoffman's Ice Cream—a legendary destination since 1976. The inlet area provides fishing opportunities and beautiful sunset views. Martell's Tiki Bar brings tropical vibes with oceanfront drinks and live music.
