We used to go to Point Pleasant, too! The last 2 years we have headed to NC, but I loved NJ. My Dad's wife is from NJ, so it was a great place for her to see her kids (now adults) and have a beach vacation, too.
I thought it was silly to pay to go on the beach, though. What's up with that? We always just went in with the passes that came with our rental and one person went back and brought the others in with the same passes..cheating? Yes, but justified in my mind somehow!
My kids loved the rides and games...Grandpa spent a small fortune on the grandkids every trip! I loved going to Point Pleasant! I would recommend it to others!
