Back

Point Pleasant is a borough in northern Ocean County, New Jersey, situated on the Jersey Shore between the Manasquan River and the Barnegat Bay region. With a population of 18,941 at the 2020 census, it is the larger, more residential counterpart to the neighboring borough of Point Pleasant Beach, which lies immediately to the east and contains the area's oceanfront and boardwalk. Water defines the borough's geography and identity. The Point Pleasant Canal bisects the community, connecting the Manasquan River and Manasquan Inlet with Barnegat Bay as a segment of the New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway. That waterway, along with the borough's lagoons and bayside edges, gives many homes direct boat access and makes boating, fishing, and waterside living central to everyday life. Point Pleasant functions as a stable, year-round Shore community. Roughly 80 percent of its housing units are owner-occupied, and the population includes a strong mix of families and young professionals who live there permanently rather than seasonally. The borough offers a wider range of stores, restaurants, and services than its beachfront neighbor, giving residents convenience without the full intensity of the summer tourism economy. Public education is provided by the Point Pleasant School District, which includes Point Pleasant Borough High School and Nellie F. Bennett Elementary School, and the borough's parks, including Community Park, anchor local recreation. The Garden State Parkway and Route 35 keep the borough connected to the broader region, and Point Pleasant Beach's NJ Transit station puts rail access nearby. For those seeking a residential Shore town with water access, strong schools, and year-round community life, Point Pleasant offers a grounded alternative to New Jersey's more seasonal beachfront boroughs.
