Point Pleasant Beach and Point Pleasant Borough sit at the northern edge of the Ocean County shore, and from Memorial Day through Labor Day they fill with visitors heading to Jenkinson’s Boardwalk and the beaches. That seasonal flood of out-of-town drivers on Route 35 and Route 88 — many unfamiliar with the roads, many distracted by the destination — produces a sharp spike in car accidents every summer.
Where Point Pleasant crashes cluster
- Route 35 — the main shore highway, jammed and crash-prone all summer.
- Route 88 — the busy connector from Brick and the Parkway into Point Pleasant.
- Bridge Avenue and the Route 88 bridge — backups and turning crashes near the inlet.
- Boardwalk-area side streets — pedestrian and parking-related collisions in season.
What to do if you’re hurt in a Point Pleasant crash
See a doctor the same day even if you feel okay — adrenaline hides whiplash and disc injuries, and a treatment gap is the first thing an insurer uses against you. Don’t give the other driver’s insurance company a recorded statement before you talk to a lawyer. Here’s our checklist for after a NJ car accident, and more on summer shore traffic crashes.
