“For our summer vacation, we visited Point Pleasant Beach and Jenkinsons Boardwalk. It was an amazing experience. It’s very family friendly an obvious tourist attraction. The area is very clean, safe and a great atmosphere. The food and gift shops were very affordable. Nothing was really out of reach. Great family or personal vacation spot. Will return for more fun!”

“Spent Memorial Day at Point Pleasant Beach and Jenkinson’s Boardwalk, and honestly, it was one of the best weekend escapes I’ve had in a while. The beach was absolutely packed as expected for a holiday, but that just added to the lively, festive atmosphere. The boardwalk had everything you’d want: fun rides, great food stalls, and an overall vibrant vibe. There were plenty of options when it came to food, from classic American bites to Italian and seafood spots. A few beachside restro-bars also offered chill hangout spaces with a great view of the ocean. Parking was a bit of a challenge during peak hours, but with some patience, you’ll either find free street parking or opt for one of the several paid lots around the area. The staff, including lifeguards and security, were super attentive and made sure everyone was having a safe time. It’s also very family and kid-friendly. I saw tons of families and kids genuinely enjoying themselves. Heads-up: the main beachfront access is paid, but it’s reasonably priced and well-maintained, so I’d say it’s worth it. All in all, a great spot if you’re looking for a fun and relaxing weekend with friends or family. Would definitely go back!”

“This is an excellent beach with Boardwalk. Very well maintained. Easy to navigate with google maps. Hard to find free/paid parking also near the beach especially over weekends. There is hourly parking with less price changes for weekdays/weekends/holidays but reasonable price. $40 day parking is also available and may get some spots here. Street parking is available but mostly get filled unless we want to walk a mile. We visited this over weekend and there is ticket for adults only for $15. Children under 12 are free to enter. Boardwalk area is full of stores. Restrooms are available and no rush at all here. At the entrance itself, there are showers available to take batch while returning. All are free. There is lot of space to place our tents and chairs to take rest in the beach. Very well maintained the whole beach. Beach is opened to go in water only until 5.30 PM. In the sand area we can stay until 11 PM it seems. Excellent beach to visit with whole family and friends. Everyone will enjoy this place for sure. Can't go deep in water as there is little deep. Waves were so speed in the evening, so probably that could be the reason for not allowing into water after 5.30 PM.”

“Nice place to visit. Boardwalk very clean and lots of places eat and spend family time. Although the boardwalk games cost from $5 to $20 each game to play, be prepared to spend a rent payment for a day. The beaches were walkable but no life guards on duty as it was the end of Sept. There is an aquarium, mini golf and kiddie rides along with a tiki bar for the adults. Nice day trip.”
