Learn moreA moderated four-season Jersey Shore climate
Point Pleasant's coastal position moderates summer and winter temperature extremes somewhat relative to inland New Jersey -- a real, typical pattern shared with this dataset's other Jersey Shore markets.
Point Pleasant Beach's full-borough flood exposure
Point Pleasant Beach sits on a barrier spit bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Manasquan Inlet and River, and a canal -- per the borough's own official flood disclosure, the entire municipality is subject to flooding, with hurricanes and Nor'easters the greatest hazard.
A real, still-referenced Hurricane Sandy rebuild
Point Pleasant Beach's roughly one-mile boardwalk sustained substantial Hurricane Sandy (2012) damage; the mayor at the time estimated a real $4 million restoration cost -- a genuine marker of the market's coastal-storm exposure and rebuilding history.
Point Pleasant Borough's own tidal-canal exposure
Point Pleasant Borough's real flood risk runs genuinely tidal-and-canal-driven rather than direct-oceanfront -- properties along the Beaver Dam Creek/Wreck Pond lagoon network and the Point Pleasant Canal carry real, disclosed flood susceptibility given their tidal connection to Barnegat Bay and the Manasquan River.
