This makes me so sad. I spent my childhood at this boardwalk. My mother worked at the Penny Candy Counter in the Jenkinson's Pavilion for years and many an evening was spent walking this boardwalk or sitting in the rocking chairs overlooking the ocean. I hope with all my heart it is able to recover.

WE WILL REBUILD AND WE WILL NOT LET THIS RECK OUR SPIRIT

Good memories from there

Does anybody know how Beacon lane is? Off of Ocean Ave and Michele lane I am concerned we can't get access yet and last I heard there was possible gas smells. Thank you if you know anything. It's across from Opdykes outdoor furniture

How is the Aquarium????

we have a picture...it appears to be ok from the outside

Does anyone know if Jack Baker's survived?!

Does anyone about the north side ppb they show pictures of the southern end but nothing passed jenkison aquarium?

Anyone with info regarding ortley beach on the bay side?

Jersey Strong. God Bless

Does anyone know if the status of the animals in the aquarium? I know the building itself sustained water damage, but how about the animals? The Harbor Seals and penguins have been a staple for decades. Has anyone heard anything about that at all?? This just breaks my heart.

I'm also concerned about the well being of the penguins, fish, etc that live at the aquarium as well as the cats that lived under the boardwalk at Seaside Heights. There is so much devastation. My heart goes out to all that have been impacted by Sandy.

I am positive that all the sea animals are fine in the Aquarium!! Just heard today that all are fine <3 !!

Thank you Chico!!!!!!

I heard that the people that worked at the aquarium stayed throughout the storm and that everything was okay there but I am not sure. How did the Windswept Motel do, I stay there every summer.

This makes my stomach sick, I grew up in Point & Im raising my kids here. I pray they can rebuild...I wil never forget!

Has anyone seen or know if Hank Hartman from Sandy Hook Yacht Sales is ok? We know the marina is gone and I believe he lived on a bluff at point pleasant. Any info would help. Thanks

Anything on the the inlet? Shrimp Box? Coast Guard station? Houses on Inlet Drive??

can people come back to their houses yet if they had to evacuate? My mom is trying to get back to Laurel Ct on the St. Louis end.

How is the Wharfside and the Windswept Motel? Please I really need to know. Thanks.

Residents are now allowed to return to PPB but there's still a 7 pm to 7 am curfew in place. Wharfside appears fine from the outside, still standing with minimal evident damage.

How is the Whit Sands? God Bless!

So very sad....we have lived there since 95 and are raising our children there....so much damage...we have been staying out in Pa with family but plan to return and assess our own damage later tommorrow or Friday without the kids at first. We are on Newark Ave by Lake of the Lillies on the dead end street...any idea of the damages over there?

Someone please have Dan @ 6 Broadway, Point Beach call Robert or Richard or Charlotte.

I grew. Up in NJ and spent so many summer days and nights there. Even came back frequently and brought my then young son their from CO. He live the train ride, so did I when I was his age. I was in shock watching the news and devastation there.
Glad to hear Wharfside still standing but what about Martell's and the Tiki Bar, a must visit place for me when I visit NJ, along with the Wharfside??? Any pictures or info?

I'm so concerned about PPB. I spent all my summers there in 40's and 50's at the corner of Randall and Homestead Ave. A photo of that house would be greatly appreciated if anyone is nearby. My mother and father met at Jenkinson's Pavilion. Mom was quite a bingo player up there.

I was wondering how Point Beach Motel faired through this horrible tragedy... We just started going there this past summer and thought it was going to be our new "spot"! I hope it will be again!

The pier at Martells is gone. The building itself on the boardwalk is still there along with the first large bar in the back just past the stage area. Then it drops off to the ocean.

Does anyone know what Boat Point Dive looks like? If anyone that lives on that street have a family member named Debbie P. in TN, please call her. She is worried.

Drive not Dive

What about Jenkinson's Bar? I haven't been able to find any info on that. And I can't really tell from the photos the extent of the damage to the rides. Are they wiped out or just damaged?

What's up with the Point Beach Motel?!? I stay there every year for 17 years! Please let me know

Anyone know about THE POINT BEACH MOTEL? Please please please let me know this is very important
To my family please!

ALL...although brief here are a few pics of what's happened...

The Aquarium needs gas, batteries and a few other things to keep the animals going until they find them new homes...

I grew up in Point Pleasant in sunshine Harbor. The boardwalk was the place to go then in the 40 and 50s. My daughter still returns with my grandchildren. Even though we moved to Brick town. Saddens me to know about the old places that were so familiar and may never be the same. Pat Bacsenko

Anyone know how the shrimp box is? Wharfside patio?

Does anybody have any information on Risden's Bathhouse? I grew up near Pt. Pleasant and now live in Kutztown. The bathhouse is a staple for day trips and so many fond memories.

Point Pleasant remains my favorite place. Great memories throughout my life traveling up to visit my family at the shore. My thoughts are with everyone impacted by the storm.

To everyone at PPB. Nothing can change the spirit of point pleasant, it is a magical place and will be again soon. Good luck rebuilding. It Will be beautiful as always. Forever in my heart.

Anyone know about Frank's Fun Place (formerly Frank's Amusements) and Joey Tomatoes across from Martells?

Does anyone know how Spikes Restaurant managed this Sandy Hurricane? My wife and I spent many trips out to Point Pleasant and enjoyed their hospitality.
It is so very sad to see the area damaged beyond belief. Our prayers go out to ALL those suffering from this horrific storm. Cannot believe the destruction. So many wonderful memories of this area. It's just beyond our scope of the hardship all are endearing. God Bless you ALL! It will be rebuilt, I am sure of it, but my God how much work and hardship to be confronted with.

Ortley beach got hammered. Surf Club no more. They've been close many times but this time Mother Nature won. Point will come back - it will just take time.

The Surf Club "not done yet":
