About this map

Point Pleasant Beach and the surrounding coastal communities of Point Pleasant and Bay Head anchor this 2011 survey of the Jersey Shore. The map detail highlights a complex interface of land and water, where the Manasquan River meets the Atlantic Ocean and feeds into the northern reaches of Barnegat Bay. Local transportation and maritime infrastructure are central to the landscape, including the rail connection at Bay Head Junction and the Point Pleasant State Marina.

Suburban development is interwoven with numerous lagoons and waterways such as The Glimmerglass and Wills Hole Thoroughfare. Local history and genealogy interest is found in sites like Greenwood Cemetery and White Lawn Cemetery, alongside established neighborhoods from Brielle in the north to Normandy Beach and Silver Bay in the south. The transition from river to bay is marked by several named points and islands, including Osborn Island and Gull Island, illustrating the region's dense residential and recreational layout.
