Point Plesant Beach is beautiful & full of fun things to do. It's a great place to relax with your family or walk along the boardwalk. Parking fills up quickly, so you'll have to come early, or you'll have to pack a lot of patience to look for a spot. Either way, Point Pleasant Beach is worth the trip.
On the New Jersey shore, Point Pleasure Beach Pavilion or Jenkinsons Beach as it is commonly called has arcades and smaller children oriented rides. The rides and arcade games are certainly not cheap but are not terribly expensive.
I haven't been there in the evening but during the day it seems like a friendly family oriented place. It is especially worth while way of spending a day if it's raining or cold and the beach is not a good idea.

Was looking for a beach outside of NYC. Found this beach on the top beaches to visit in Jersey, since it didn’t seemed that far I decided to go. Did not know this beach was privatized therefore had to pay $14 p/p because I went on a weekend. However, it didn’t bother me that much since they keep the beach clean. I was very happy to enter clean waters and feel safe. The waves were crazy that day but I really enjoyed myself and felt like a child again. I come from Puerto Rico and really miss the beach. This beach reminded me of home except that the water was freezing but after a while you just forget about it. My friend had an ankle cast and they kindly sat her in a beach wheelchair and took her to the stop we wanted to be.
Things I didn’t like is the restriction of the size of cooler you can bring, you can only swim until 5:40 pm and have to leave by 6:50 pm. Wish the swimming time and leave time were later. Also, finding parking in a weekend was a nightmare since there is also an amusement park and restaurants there.

I loved it! I'd never been to the Jersey Shore before so nothing to compare it to but I found it clean with friendly people and vendors. A wonderful 1st experience
Fun boardwalk with a lot of attractions including an aquarium and arcades. The beach access is either cash or card. There is also a small amusement park with rides for adults and children.
Great beach, not too busy. Good food and rides for the kiddies. Love the games. Had a great time with family
I love Point Pleasant. I have since I’m a child. Beautiful, clean sand. Maintained well. Fun boardwalk with plenty to do. Lots of good food to choose from. I’d have given it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the prices!!! Anticipate paying handsomely to park, get on the beach, eat, and play an arcade game or two. It was never the less expensive beach on the Jersey shore but this year the prices knocked me for a loop.
Love it, fun place fot the entire family! Several restaurants, the beach, the carnival rides, aquarium, Beach, shopping. Just keep in mind that once Memorial weekend hits, it's going to be super pack thru the end of summer. You can still try to see if they have summer rentals or apartments. You can always try to find parking on the street, but those goes extra fast. You can also pay by the parking lots or just take the NJ transit train from New york or Newark Pen Station
