Last week I visited (for the second year in a row), a most beautiful place in New Jersey. New Jersey is not normally known for its stunning beauty, or anything like that, but Point Pleasant is definitely the place to go. If you ever happen to find yourself in the Point Pleasant/Bayhead area, make sure to stop by these places.
1. Point Pleasant Beach.
Obviously, if you are going to New Jersey or anywhere near the ocean for that matter, you have to go to the beach. The beaches at Point Pleasant are stunning and very, very clean, so stop on by.
2. Point Pleasant Beach (after hours).
The beach at night is so fun, as long as you're being safe. Feel free to take a nighttime stroll with your friends or just hang out on the sand in the warm airs of summer.
3. Jenkinson's Boardwalk.
Though still ravaged by Hurricane Sandy, the Boardwalk still stands strong with many of its older attractions and shops that drew the masses in the past.
4. Surf Taco.
To be honest, I was in Jersey for two days, and I went here twice for food because it is so good. The coastal cuisine served here is second to no other. So get yourself a quesadilla because you're worth it.
5. Coal House.
Coal House is home to many different kinds of food, but their most popular are by far their brick oven pizzas. Not only do they taste good, but the presentation isn't too bad either.
6. Jersey Mike's.
Man, this place is all over the place in the South, but definitely not in New York. Their subs are fantastic. Definitely worth a visit.
7. Hoffman's Ice Cream.
Hoffman's is actually so good, you need to go there or you will regret everything.
8. Mueller's Bakery.
Mueller's is a cute little bakery with a line that is usually out the door. Their crumb cake is their most well-known item, but that doesn't mean that their other goods aren't just as grand. Get your hands on one of their donuts, bagels, or muffins as soon as you can.
9. Anything and everything.
If you have any sort of opportunity to go to Point Pleasant, I suggest you try. Just take the time you have to hang out with your friends and do stupid stuff together. Summer is such a fun time of the year. So make the most of it!
