When the Bennies go Home

The common trend is that you go to a beach that's south of where you live. Even the Point Pleasant dwellers will find their way to Island Beach. Tourism is what helps Point Pleasant's local economy, but it's a bittersweet reality that without the tourism, Point Pleasant would surely turn into a hopeless town. We've seen it in New Jersey history, particularly in Asbury Park. I'm grateful to call this place my home and hope that the businesses continue to thrive despite the economy.

The best time to visit the boardwalk is in September, when the water is still warm and the games are readily available for you to play. The locals know that this is the best time to appreciate their local resources, see some shows in Seaside, and get your feet wet. Today, there's a huge surfing competition in Belmar where Karmic Juggernaut's playing. Check out some of the shore's events; before you know it, you'll be taking our your shovel and gloves.
