I can't say I'm a big fan of the higher dunes and walkways planted across the majority of the boardwalk, but I can appreciate the necessity of such construction in light of the devastation I witnessed enduring Superstorm Sandy. You don't feel the ocean breeze as well and the dunes most certainly block the tranquil view of the ocean we locals flock to all year long. But if this project will protect lives and property, we should be thankful for it I guess. Although
the aesthetics have changed, Jenkinson's Boardwalk is still one of the best iconic Jersey Shore places to spend your summer days and nights. It is well maintained, free of liter, and very safe for all who visit. There is something to be enjoyed by the young and the elder, whether it's just walking the boards, playing the game concessions, enjoying the beach and ocean, chilling out on the inlet, or trying some of NJ's best local restaurants or comedy clubs. It is a culturally diverse area enjoyed by one and all.
