How cool is it that we can go to the beach on a warm summer night and bring a blanket, maybe a pillow or two, and kick back and watch a fun movie on the beach with friends and family? It’s truly one of the simple pleasures we can enjoy here at the Jersey Shore.

It’s like setting up camp for 2 hours on your own private spot on the beach. The sound of the waves in the background and the smell of popcorn in the air. It’s time to head to Jenkinson’s Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach for a fun night and some of the best movies.

If you’ve ever been down the Shore, you probably know Jenkinson’s Boardwalk—it’s one of those places that just feels like summer, right?
It all started way back in the early 1900s as Point Pleasant Beach was becoming a popular beach town. Over time, that simple oceanfront turned into the boardwalk we know now, with rides, games, and spots families keep coming back to year after year.
See you at the movies this summer at Jenkinson’s and don’t forget the popcorn!
