Jenkinson's Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, has been a cherished destination for nearly a century.

Established in the 1920s, this iconic mile-long boardwalk offers a diverse array of attractions, including an amusement park, aquarium, arcades, oceanfront dining, and shopping.

It's a quintessential spot for family-friendly day trips, weekend getaways, or summer vacations.

The amusement park features rides catering to all ages, from kiddie coasters for the little ones to the thrilling Super Himalaya for adults. Recently, Jenkinson's introduced Boardwalk Bounce Cards, a contactless payment method providing access to the amusement park, South Arcade, boardwalk games, and mini-golf.

The on-site aquarium offers a respite from the sun, showcasing marine life such as sharks, seals, and penguins. The newly renovated second floor features diverse habitats, including a touch tank, birds, and monkeys, with Wally the sloth being a visitor favorite.

Dining options abound, with Jersey Shore staples like giant pizza slices from Joey Tomato's, fresh seafood at Boardwalk Bar & Grill, cheesesteaks from Little Mac's, and sweet treats like ice cream and fried Oreos. For a sit-down meal, Oceanside Dining and Pavilion offers a variety of dishes, from lobster and shrimp quesadillas to sushi. Nightlife enthusiasts can enjoy live bands and beachfront access at Jenks Club.

Throughout the summer, Jenkinson's hosts a variety of events and live entertainment. A highlight is the weekly fireworks show every Thursday night, starting in late June. Other events include Christmas in July, beach concerts featuring local bands, karaoke nights, magic shows on the beach, mermaid meet-and-greets, and science in the sand events.
