The beach, the boardwalk, the aquarium, the arcades, and the ice cream are just a few reasons Jenkinson’s Boardwalk is a hot spot.

Next summer Pt. Pleasant Beach will add to its attractions with a brand-new roller coaster, called Patriot’s Run, which will debut in time for next summer’s season.

Patriot’s Run will be 35 feet high, consist of conventional trains and a classic lift, and be a mix of twists and turns. With its red, white and blue theme, it will serve as a tribute as well to celebrate America’s 250th birthday in 2026. It’s taking over Tidal Wave, which will remain open through Monday (Labor Day).
