Point Pleasant Beach, Administrative division in New Jersey, United States.
Point Pleasant Beach stands at the northern end of the Barnegat Peninsula, separating Barnegat Bay from the Atlantic Ocean in Ocean County, New Jersey.
The incorporation of Point Pleasant Beach as a borough occurred on May 18, 1886, following the early settlement of European communities focused on fishing activities.
The one-mile boardwalk features multiple entertainment options, including an aquarium, amusement rides, games, and numerous food establishments for visitors.
Beach visitors aged 12 and older need to pay an entrance fee of up to 10 dollars, while parking costs can reach 2.50 dollars per hour.
