2014 Map of Point Pleasant

About this map

The Glimmerglass Bridge and the Manasquan River dominate the northern landscape of this coastal survey, where the border between Monmouth Co and Ocean Co cuts through the waterway toward the Manasquan Inlet. This document details the intricate coastal geography of New Jersey's shore during the early 21st century, showing the developed waterfronts of Point Pleasant Beach and Bay Head. The complex network of lagoons and basins, including the Laurelton Yacht Basin and Winter Yacht Basin, illustrates a landscape heavily shaped by maritime leisure and the Intracoastal Waterway. Further south, the map traces the narrow barrier peninsula through Mantoloking to Dover Beaches North, while inland, the confluence of the Metedeconk River and Barnegat Bay creates a sprawling system of coves and points such as Metedeconk Neck and Swan Point. The southern reach of the Metedeconk River serves as a primary geographical divider between established mainland neighborhoods like Shore Acres and the thin coastal strips of Normandy Beach.
