POINT PLEASANT BEACH 30 www.sparkexploreocean.com Originally regarded as a summer resort area, Point Pleasant Beach is now a bustling, year-round community and the proud home of the most family-oriented boardwalk at the shore. Jenkinson’s Boardwalk, a mile-long destination, is perfect for the whole family, with attractions including an aquarium, an amusement park, arcades and games of chance. The Boards, as they are commonly called, house three mini-golf courses, batting cages, and sweet shops and other boardwalk food favorites. Jenkinson’s Boardwalk is conveniently accessible by car, train or bus. It’s just minutes off the Garden State Parkway and Route 195, one hour south of New York City, one hour north of Atlantic City and about an hour and 15 minutes from Philadelphia. Point Pleasant Beach is also one of the few Ocean County Tourism destinations that can be reached directly by NJTRANSIT via the Point Pleasant Beach Station of the North Jersey Coast Line. This makes it a fun destination to visit for the day with friends, completely accessible to those who live north along the shore and into New York City. The Point Pleasant beaches, open from 9 am to 5 pm during the summer months, allow both guarded swimming and surfing and with beach tags. Welcome Friend— stay as long as you can, and come back soon. Fishing, bicycling, boating, swimming, sports, shopping, night life. . . . Or maybe you prefer visiting unique shops, restaurants, bakeries, ice cream stands or a wellstocked library or just lying in the sun doing nothing at all. Whatever it is, you can find it all here in the Jersey Shore’s premier family community. Photo by B. Cuthbert J2
