Jenkinson's Boardwalk - Amusement park in Point Pleasant Beach - 300 Ocean Ave N, USA

Boardwalk & beach are both VERY underwhelming. If this is the only boardwalk + beach combo you can manage, then it’s sufficient i suppose. You’d be MUCH better off driving the extra 40 minutes to Ocean City, even Atlantic City or even Seaside is better (and that’s saying a lot). This beach is short & crowded, costs $14 for adults, and drops off 10ft or so to the water surface. The boardwalk is short (maybe a 1000’), narrow (15’ across), and lame— gimmicky attractions, arcades & food. Skee ball is $1.50 per game?? Parking is also nonexistent. On the other hand, Ocean city boardwalk is several MILES long, 50 feet across, has 2 whole amusement parks, and packed with great games, shops, novelty stores, great food and unmatched arcades (Jilly’s). Beaches there are $10, clean, wide, and very long. Ocean City is better in every way, and better for every age group including families & those who are older (I’m 24, my parents are 50, and we have never had a bad experience there the past 15 years we’ve gone). I don’t even know how Point Pleasant managed to make ANY ‘Top 10 Boardwalks in NJ’ list online. It stinks! Never going back

Boardwalk has a good mix of things for little and big kids to do. Variety of food options also. Bathrooms (ladies) always seem to have a long line but they have staff cleaning regularly which is really nice! Beach was clean and everyone was pleasant. Fee for beach was alittle steep considering swim hours are only til about 5p. Also beach actually closes, meaning pack your stuff and leave or get a ticket at about 645p. All in all not a bad place to stop when you're in the area. *Parking at municipal lot is expensive and the cooler regulation is a downer but those are in place by the municipality not jenkinsons.

Beautiful aquarium. If you have not gone here, you should. Lots of great tanks and some good ongoing marine research too.

We came here twice during our stay with Family in Jackson. Every Thursday they do fireworks. The kids really loved that! Then we came again Tuesday when they had a deal for wristbands. It was always such a great time. There is so much to do on the boardwalk! I wish we had something like this in Naples. But we don't, because Naples is boring... 🤣😂

Love the boardwalk, full of fun and food. Great way to spend the day. Was surprised you had to pay… a high amount to go on the beach. Had a great beach day, but be cautious the sand is extremely coarse and the water currents are strong.

I grew up at this boardwalk, it has gone from a beautiful place to severely over packed all the time. You can hardly move on the boardwalk in some places. We went to the end by the inlet with my <2 year old nephew. He had a fun time especially watching the boats. The workers and some people were very nice and friendly. It's still a nice place with a lot of restaurants, bars and games, aquarium. Beautiful scenery. They close the beach at 7.

It's not the same place that I remember from when I was younger. I moved away for years and now that I came back, it was a bit disappointing. It was crazy packed on a Sunday early evening and took forever to find parking. I don't know if it was because it was Memorial Day weekend or if it's always like this, but the people there were horrible too. Very trashy and rude. Barely any games. Very expensive. I don't suggest using the public bathroom, long lines and people kept trying to skip me. When I told one woman there was a line, she called me a name, and she was with two little kids. It's really not worth the drive from North Jersey, I'd rather go to a carnival around here.

Point pleasant is a great beach to visit. It's one of my top three picks during the summer. They have a decent board walk with plenty of food selections including ice cream, funnel cakes, and more
