Facility Overview
Jenkinson’s Parking Lot, located at 106 Ocean Ave, Point Pleasant Beach, NJ, is a premier open-air surface parking facility strategically situated in the heart of the Jersey Shore\'s most vibrant entertainment district. The lot is designed for high-volume beach and boardwalk traffic, offering a spacious, level asphalt layout that accommodates standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and pickup trucks with ease. As a surface-level lot, there are no vertical clearance restrictions, making it highly suitable for taller vehicles or those with roof racks that would otherwise struggle in traditional parking garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This facility offers unparalleled proximity to the Point Pleasant Beach waterfront. Guests are within seconds of the famous Jenkinson’s Boardwalk, providing immediate access to the Jenkinson’s Aquarium, amusement rides, arcades, and a wide selection of boardwalk eateries. The beach entrance is directly across from the lot, making it an ideal choice for sunbathers and families. Furthermore, the surrounding area features iconic nightlife spots and local dining establishments, all within a 1-to-5-minute walk.
