About Point Pleasant Beach

Point Pleasant Beach is a small Ocean County borough on the Jersey Shore, known for its beach, boardwalk, and fishing fleet. The area was first occupied by Lenape people, while the modern town grew into a classic shore destination with amusements, seafood, vacation rentals, and summer crowds. Its inlet and proximity to the Manasquan River give it more maritime activity than a beach-only town. Point Pleasant Beach is busy and seasonal, but it also has year-round neighborhoods behind the boardwalk and commercial strips.
