Jenkinson’s Boardwalk is one of the Jersey Shore’s most beloved destinations — a full-scale oceanfront entertainment complex in Point Pleasant Beach that has been drawing families, groups, and Shore fans for generations. Just 45 minutes north of Atlantic City, it’s the perfect World Cup summer day trip when you want the full Jersey Shore experience.

The boardwalk stretches along a beautiful Atlantic beach and packs in a traditional amusement park with classic rides, multiple arcades packed with games and prizes, mini golf, batting cages, an Adventure Lookout ropes course, and a full lineup of restaurants and bars ranging from casual boardwalk fare to sit-down dining and a proper nightclub. The aquarium — one of the Shore’s best — is right on the property too.

During World Cup 2026, Jenkinson’s will be buzzing with summer crowds from across the globe. International visitors staying in Atlantic City will find it one of the most accessible and authentically American Shore experiences within an easy drive — a genuine slice of NJ culture that no guidebook fully captures until you’re there.

What’s There

Amusement Park — Classic boardwalk rides for all ages including thrill rides, kiddie rides, and the swings over the ocean.
