Point Pleasant, NJ

Point Pleasant is a borough in Ocean County about an hour away from Philadelphia and Trenton. This small coastal community is surrounded by the Manasquan River and Metedeconk River, offering picturesque views throughout the edges of town. Point Pleasant is upscale with beautiful, bright waterfront homes and apartments with views. Some houses are even close enough to the rivers that sandy front lawns replace the manicured green grass seen in other parts of town. With access to excellent schools, the area attracts families, but people from every age call this town home. Point Pleasant was once only a summer resort community, but today it’s a vibrant, year-round town.

Of course, water sports are very popular here. A lot of parks in town have access or a view of the rivers. There are multiple marinas and yacht clubs on the edges of town while Point Pleasant Beach is just moments away. During your beach trip, be sure to visit Jenkinson's Boardwalk which features an arcade, mini-golf, aquarium, rides, and classic casual eats like crispy fries and ice cream. You can also try one of the many waterfront restaurants that serves seafood with a jaw-dropping view. Whether you’re a family-focused person or a beach lover, Point Pleasant is the perfect place for any age.
