Point Pleasant, New Jersey: a Photo Essay
August 17, 2009 by Fernando DeGuia
Though the Northeast hasn’t had much “beach weather” to speak of this summer, this past weekend certainly brought out the crowds, at least at Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Families from all over the region brought their kids, coolers, chairs, and their beach umbrellas to mark their spots.

- How’s the water? It was just perfect for many beachgoers.
