Point-Pleasant-Beach is one of the most popular family beach resort destinations in Ocean County along the Jersey Shore Region. Called a "classic shore town," Point Pleasant has both public access and private beaches. The southern end of town is where you will find the free public beach access (on Ocean Avenue.) In summer, the boardwalk at Point Pleasant Beach is filled with activity, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. This mile-long stretch of boards offers arcades, games of chance, rides, gift shops and food (including a Victorian ice cream parlor.) Jenkinson's Aquarium is located on the north end and a fun house is right in the middle. The boardwalk ends at Manasquan Inlet, which is a prime fishing area and a good place to watch the fishing vessels and recreational boats cruising in and out of harbor. Other excellent fishing spots near Point Pleasant include the Manasquan River, the Canal at Point Pleasant Boro, Barnegat Bay, ocean and surf fishing. Point Pleasant Beach also offers fine dining opportunities - everything from a five-course formal meal to seafood served on a wooden table overlooking the fishing boats. Each year, Point Pleasant hosts The Festival of the Sea, an annual event held each September since 1975. This festival is held downtown on both Arnold and Bay Avenues, with arts & crafts, live music, and local restaurants providing crab cakes, lobster, shrimp soups and bisques and more. Located about nine miles south of town is Seaside Heights, which offers some of the same attractions as Point Pleasant Beach, but typically has a more "festive, party atmosphere."
