Family-oriented amusements prevail along mile-long Jenkinson's Boardwalk. Neighboring Manasquan Inlet provides ocean access and boating opportunities.
Everyone looks forward to the Festival of the Sea, a street fair complete with goodies like funnel cakes and fried Oreos, not to mention clam chowder, shrimp skewers and other seafood favorites. The event, which takes place in mid-September along Arnold and Bay avenues downtown, also offers pony rides, hundreds of craft booths and live entertainment courtesy of local musicians.
