Jenkinson's Boardwalk

For our summer vacation, we visited Point Pleasant Beach and Jenkinsons Boardwalk. It was an amazing experience. It’s very family friendly an obvious tourist attraction. The area is very clean, safe and a great atmosphere. The food and gift shops were very affordable. Nothing was really out of reach. Great family or personal vacation spot. Will return for more fun!

Nice place to visit. Boardwalk very clean and lots of places eat and spend family time. Although the boardwalk games cost from $5 to $20 each game to play, be prepared to spend a rent payment for a day. The beaches were walkable but no life guards on duty as it was the end of Sept. There is an aquarium, mini golf and kiddie rides along with a tiki bar for the adults. Nice day trip.

This is an excellent beach with Boardwalk.

Very well maintained. Easy to navigate with google maps. Hard to find free/paid parking also near the beach especially over weekends.
There is hourly parking with less price changes for weekdays/weekends/holidays but reasonable price.
$40 day parking is also available and may get some spots here. Street parking is available but mostly get filled unless we want to walk a mile.

We visited this over weekend and there is ticket for adults only for $15. Children under 12 are free to enter. Boardwalk area is full of stores.
Restrooms are available and no rush at all here. At the entrance itself, there are showers available to take batch while returning. All are free.

There is lot of space to place our tents and chairs to take rest in the beach. Very well maintained the whole beach. Beach is opened to go in water only until 5.30 PM. In the sand area we can stay until 11 PM it seems.

Excellent beach to visit with whole family and friends. Everyone will enjoy this place for sure. Can't go deep in water as there is little deep. Waves were so speed in the evening, so probably that could be the reason for not allowing into water after 5.30 PM.

Since 1928, Jenkinson's Boardwalk has operated as an amusement park and prominent tourist attraction among those in Ocean County and for families and area tourists alike.

For the first time in over 16 years, I came to this such boardwalk on a recent trip out to the Jersey Shore as a means of spending my last full day of my recent trip in a manner of peace and action. I came to this such boardwalk during the afternoon on a Wednesday evening and found myself flattered at just how impressive the boardwalk area really was during my time. I was especially impressed with how much there was to do. From shops to food stalls, and even arcades, this boardwalk has something for everybody.

I came also during one of the prominent events that are held on the pier during the summer months, and was easily enamored by the theme of Christmas in July they were offering during my time at the boardwalk. The entryway to the beach also offers a robust experience that allows you to experience the Sand and the Atlantic Ocean from a distance.

Overall, coming here was a surprise and a great treat to end my trip to the Mid-Atlantic Region, I hope to come back in the future and experience more of what the boardwalk has to offer.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4-Star Review for Jenkinson’s Boardwalk – Point Pleasant, NJ

Jenkinson’s Boardwalk is a classic Jersey Shore gem! Great mix of family fun, ocean views, and nostalgic vibes. The beach is clean and well-maintained, and the boardwalk is bustling with energy—especially in the summer. The rides are a nice touch for younger kids, and the amusement rides offer something for all ages. Lots of snack options from fried Oreos to pizza and ice cream—definitely a cheat day paradise! Also love funnel cakes here

Parking can be tricky on busy weekends, and prices (like many shore spots) can add up quickly. But overall, it’s a fun, lively place to spend the day with family or friends. Highly recommend for a full-day outing at the shore!
