Point Pleasant Beach is acoastalborough situated on theJersey Shore, and the northernmost community directly facing theAtlantic Ocean withinOcean County, in theU.S. state ofNew Jersey. It lies at the northern end of theBarnegat Peninsula, which serves as abarrier island separatingBarnegat Bay from the open Atlantic Ocean. The borough's name is derived from its location.[18]
As of the2020 United States census, the borough's population was 4,766,[9] an increase of 101 (+2.2%) from the2010 census count of 4,665,[19][20] which in turn reflected a decline of 649 (−12.2%) from the 5,314 counted in the2000 census.[21]
Point Pleasant Beach was incorporated as a borough by an act of theNew Jersey Legislature on May 18, 1886, from portions ofBrick Township, subject to the results of areferendum passed the previous day.[22] Point Pleasant Beach lies immediately to the east ofPoint Pleasant, an entirely separate municipality within Ocean County.
Theborough's boardwalk is approximately one mile long, spanning the coastline from the Manasquan Inlet at the north to New Jersey Avenue in the south. The central third of theboardwalk is largely amusement rides, the Jenkinson's Aquarium, the Jenkinson's Arcades, pizza joints, ice cream parlors, games-of-chance and miniature golf courses. There are fees of up to $10 per person age 12 or over to access the various beaches, as well as parking fees of up to $2.50 per hour or more.[23]
The beach was ranked eighth-best in New Jersey in the "2008 Top 10 Beaches Contest" sponsored by the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium.[24]
The area that includes Point Pleasant Beach was first occupied by theLenapeNative Americans. On September 2, 1609,Henry Hudson and the crew of his ship,Half Moon, noticed the area on their way north to explore theHudson River. Crew member Robert Juet noted in his journal, "This is a very good Land to fall with and a pleasant Land to see." The first European settlers were fisherman and farmers who first arrived in the 18th century. Summer tourism began in the early 19th century whenQuaker Thomas Cook Jr. opened his farmhouse on the site of the current Antrim Elementary School to boarders, which began the trend that transformed the area into an oceanfront haven for visitors, a trend further established in the 1870 by Captain John Arnold, who built a roadway to the ocean, now known as Arnold Avenue. In 1875, he built the first bridge over theManasquan River, linking the town toBrielle. He later convinced the Central Jersey Railroad to extend its service to Point Pleasant Beach, which it did beginning on July 3, 1880.[25]
The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach was established on June 2, 1886.[22][25]
The 1870s was an era of major tourism expansion, driven by developers who subdivided old farms for vacation home lots. Captain Arnold devised Arnold City between Central and what was to become Arnold Avenue. In 1877, the Point Pleasant Land Company bought the old Forman Farm, 250 acres (1.0 km2) on what is now Route 35 South, between Forman and Elizabeth Avenues and began selling lots. In 1878, it built the four-story, 200-guest Resort House, the largest building in town. It also began ahorse-drawn trolley service to attract tourists. Other hotels were built before the turn-of-the-20th century, including the largest, the Leighton, as well as the Beacon, and Zimmerman's, though many of these, including the Resort House, burnt down, succumbed to changing tastes, or were dismantled for wood duringWorld War II. Initially, visitors focused their attention on the Manasquan River, cedar groves and farmhouses, but their interest in the ocean led to development on the waterfront, beginning with the first beachfront pavilion on Atlantic Avenue in 1880. Ten years later, the first flimsy, portableboardwalk was built, but it washed away within two years.[25]
The original amusement area was Clark's Landing, which opened on the Manasquan River in 1892. In 1897, the decision for privately owned beaches in Point Pleasant Beach was made when, as noted in the Council minutes of August 16, "Ownership of the Beach turned down by the Council because of the extreme cost to the Borough for maintenance." In 1915, the first permanent boardwalk was built between Philadelphia and Central Avenues, and eventually expanded along the entire length of Point Pleasant Beach, but shortened to its present length by a September 1938 hurricane that destroyed its southern portion. It evolved from a mere promenade for strolling to a more active amusement area, beginning with Charles Jenkinson's construction in the 1920s of Jenkinson's Pavilion and Swimming Pool. The boardwalk pavilion became the center of nightlife, featuring sophisticated dancing, well-knownbig bands, and occasional live nationally broadcast radio. Today it features a number ofamusement rides,video arcades, and diverse cuisine, ranging from sausage sandwiches tosushi.[25] Point Pleasant Beach hosts an annual Seafood Festival in September.[25]
On February 12, 1900, the steel-hulled, Scottish barque,County of Edinburgh was blown ashore at high tide and became stranded. The event became national news when it was extensively reported inThe New York Times, illustrated by a high quality photograph that became the resource for a famous painting byAntonio Jacobsen.[26] The undamaged vessel was successfully re-floated on the spring tide of February 14 and continued on her voyage from Cape Town to New York.
In October 2012, Point Pleasant Beach and numerous other Jersey Shore communities, such asSeaside Heights andLong Beach Island, were devastated byHurricane Sandy. Nearly 2,800 feet (850 m) of the borough's boardwalk was destroyed, with the cost of repairs estimated as up to $2 million.[27]
After Hurricane Sandy a seawall was constructed to protect the area from future storms. In addition, the borough required residents who wished to rebuild their homes to elevate them on pilings above the height of Sandy's storm surge.[28]
According to theUnited States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.74 square miles (4.50 km2), including 1.42 square miles (3.68 km2) of land and 0.32 square miles (0.82 km2) of water (18.22%).[1][2]
Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Clark's Landing, Lovelandtown and Sunshine Harbor.[29]
The borough borders the municipalities ofBay Head andPoint Pleasant in Ocean County; and bothBrielle andManasquan inMonmouth County.[30][31][32]
