Best Sushi in the area - we love this restaurant. The dining room is a bit loud so we like to sit at the Sushi Bar which is huge. Place is busy 7 days a week - expect to wait or make reservations. BYOB

Must try - we think these are the best donuts and pastries. They open at 5:00 am and close when sold out. Need to get there early as there is always a line. You can also order the night before over the phone and pick up next morning. Really speeds up the process. You must try the apple fritter!!!

It's like a mini farmers market. Great selections of meats, cheese, salads, and homemade deserts. Also have a great little dining area for lunch. Definitely need to check this place out if your going to be grilling at the home.

Excellent authentic Spanish and Portuguese food! Friendly and courteous staff. Highly recommend! We like to takeout the Spanish Paella for two as a side dish to grilling steak, chicken or burgers. This can easily feed about 6 people.

Great restaurant for seafood. We enjoy the baked cod and salmon. If they have the teriyaki shrimp as an appetizer you must try. Good lunch specials. Highly recommend.

Classic Jersey Shore Seafood Restaurant. Great Happy Hour and the food is delicious. Very affordable lunch menu. Dinner is a little pricey however; large portions and the food is spot on.

Really nice local aquarium, but not small or cheesy at all. Have some great displays. They have a seal show, huge shark tank, penguin, and lots of other fish and displays. They have video shows and tours. Kids love watching the seal shows. The ticket prices are good to considering what you're getting. Well worth taking the kids if your their in Point Pleasant.

Since 1946, this has been the scene at Ocean County’s New Egypt Speedway, where race fans from all over descend for weekly auto racing entertainment. What started off as a meager dirt track known as Ft. Dix Speedway now hosts some of the area’s greatest racing action – featuring everything from high-profile nationally touring series to mud bogs and monster trucks – but the majority of New Egypt Speedway’s events are highlighted by the region’s best weekly competitors. On average, close to 150 race cars compete weekly at New Egypt every Saturday Night from April to October. New Egypt Speedway was built in 1946 as a small ¼-mile dirt track facility before being converted to a paved race track

Parks & Nature

NJ's creme de la creme beach. There is much to explore here. Undomesticated beaches, biking (your own), trails, plenty of botany, driving on the beach at its distal end (given you have the proper permit/vehicle), kayaking (your own) in the Sedge Islands, and more. Lots of nature, ecology, and wildlife (falcons, foxes, etc.). I've seen dolphins and stingrays coasting through on the shore while I basked in the sun. If you love the feel of fine, pristine sands below your feet, none of that crunchy sand on the tourist beaches in NJ, this is the place for you. It can get packed on the distal end with many vehicles lined up on the beach on summer weekends. Low to mid activity on weekdays.
