The marina section is great. Can't comment on the boat slips but the pier and bulkhead offer great locations to crab and fish. There is a public bathroom which is very clean. Along the pier they also have baiting stations with running water which is really convenient. There are also a couple of covered picnic benches along the water. It's also well kept and pretty clean. The view of the bay is great and it's a nice place to spend the day fishing or crabbing.

The Gambler is a roomy, comfortable boat with a lovely crew who help with everything from baiting…read morehooks to fixing rod issues, which makes the whole trip feel really easy and welcoming. The crew clearly explains all the instructions before you start, and the whistle signals along the way make it simple to know exactly when to stop and start fishing. Even though we didn't catch anything this time, we still had a wonderful trip with Captain Bob and the crew, who are great with beginners and make sure everyone feels taken care of. It's a very beginner‑friendly boat, especially for families, and there are even fun photo‑op spots right next door to round out the experience.

Captain and crew were absolutely fantastic. I would recommend this totally. They also are very…read morecompassionate with newcomers and children.

2-Star Review for Point Pleasant Beach…read more Point Pleasant Beach used to be our go-to summer spot about 4-5 years ago, but sadly, it's gone downhill--big time. What was once a relaxing beach day has turned into an over-policed, overpriced headache. There are more cops patrolling than actual lifeguards, and getting onto the beach feels like you're going through airport security. Not exactly the vibe you want on a chill summer day. Also it's so annoying that they turn off the showers after 7 pm .. Ridiculous!! The water was murky and dirty--definitely didn't feel like going in. Food is ridiculously overpriced, and finding parking is a battle in itself. Honestly, the place has lost its charm. It ain't Point Pleasant anymore... more like Point Unpleasant. Gave it 2 stars only out of nostalgia--otherwise, it would've been a 1.

I would rate this beach 3.5 stars! It was a nice and peaceful beach but with a price tag. We had to…read morepay $3.50 an hour for parking and then we had to pay $15 pp to get on the beach which I felt is so steep. I live on Long Island and most beaches you just pay for per car for the admission. The water was peaceful and the beach was pretty quiet. The boardwalk was nice and had a lot of food options. They also had an amusement park which was nice. Our daughter enjoyed it. The bathrooms were clean and not a lot of garbage on the beach. I would return but expect to spend a lot of money for a beach day.

When we got there early in the morning after driving 2 hours, it was almost packed. I would say it was at least at 90%. The crew was nice. However, the experience was not the same because I was expecting to have some space between me and the guy next to me. Instead everyone was about a foot apart. Not comfortable when you your trying to cast a 5 foot fishing pole. They are actively lying to your face when you go onto their website. They clearly state 50% capacity .
