1. Jenkinson’s Boardwalk

Let’s be real—you can’t come to Point Pleasant and skip Jenks. The boardwalk is iconic, and biking along Ocean Avenue gives you front-row access to food stands, carnival games, an aquarium, arcades, and more.

Highlights:

• Jenkinson’s Aquarium for a family-friendly pit stop

• Spicy boardwalk fries + cotton candy = unbeatable combo

• The beach, of course

  
  

Bike Tip: You can’t ride on the boardwalk during peak hours, but there are plenty of bike racks and side paths just off it.

2. Riverfront Park & Maxson Avenue Beach

If you’re in the mood for peace and views, ride over to Riverfront Park. This underrated little gem offers stunning water views, breezy benches, and a break from the buzz.

Bring lunch, park your bike, and enjoy one of the calmest spots in town. It’s also close to Maxson Avenue Beach, which is often quieter than the main boardwalk beach.

Perfect for:

• A laid-back afternoon with a book or sandwich

• Couples looking for a photo-worthy picnic stop

• Birdwatchers and low-key nature lovers

3. Lovelandtown Bridge & Canal Walk

Lovelandtown is one of the most picturesque parts of Point Pleasant—charming boats, pastel homes, and a peaceful marina vibe. Riding along the bridge and adjacent canal trail is a great way to experience the area’s quieter side.

Don’t miss:

• Snapping a photo at the Lovelandtown Bridge

• Riding past the canal-front cottages

• Grabbing a coffee or drink nearby afterward

Pro Tip: Pair this ride with a stop at Bay Point Deli or Lovelandtown Grocery & Provisions for a casual refuel.

4. Beaver Dam Creek County Park

This spot’s technically just outside Point Pleasant in Brick, but it’s a short and beautiful ride for anyone with a little pedal power to spare. It’s loaded with nature trails, water access, and picnic areas.

You’ll enjoy:

• Shady bike trails

• Scenic views of the creek

• Fishing spots and birding potential

• Catch an event or festival in the warmer months

Bike-friendly note: There are several racks and side streets to safely use the provided lock to secure your bike(s) while you explore. Want to carry your haul? Add a basket from our bike accessories page when you book your rental.

6. Point Pleasant Canal Path

This under-the-radar path runs alongside the Point Pleasant Canal, offering a peaceful ride with occasional glimpses of passing boats. It’s the kind of trail locals don’t always talk about—but love to ride when they want to unwind.

Ride it for:

• Water views

• A break from the summer traffic

• Photo-worthy moments, especially at golden hour

Keep it mellow, bring your camera, and enjoy the best kind of detour.

7. The Ark Pub & Eatery

Yes, we’re including a pub—and no, we’re not sorry. Because what’s better than riding to a classic local spot, grabbing a burger or beer, and chilling out after a day of adventuring?

The Ark has been serving locals and visitors for decades. It’s casual, bike-friendly, and a great way to wrap up your route.

What’s on tap:
