Point Pleasant Beach

Looking for events or things to do in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ? This classic Jersey Shore town has a rhythm that shifts with the seasons, from the high energy of summer on the boardwalk to a more relaxed, local feel the rest of the year. The local scene is distinctly split between daytime family entertainment and lively nightlife, with a walkable downtown offering a quieter alternative to the beach.

The Boardwalk offers daytime family fun at Jenkinson's Amusement Park and Aquarium before transforming into a lively nightlife hub with DJs and bands at Martell's Tiki Bar and Jenks Club.
Downtown Point Pleasant Beach provides a different pace with stand-up comedy at Uncle Vinnie's Comedy Club and the annual Festival of the Sea on Arnold Avenue.
Enjoy craft beer from local spots like Last Wave Brewing Company or catch a more relaxed acoustic performance at The Wharfside Seafood & Patio Bar.
