Point Pleasant Beach is a train station located in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, United States, on the New Jersey Transit North Jersey Coast Line, and is one of the most significant stops on the NJCL portion between Long Branch and Bay Head. This modern station is located on one of the borough's major arteries, Arnold Avenue, Route 35, just blocks to the Atlantic Ocean, boardwalk, Manasquan Inlet marina, and only steps to the community's downtown business, shopping, dining and entertainment nexus.
The station features an enclosed ticketing/waiting area building adjoined to the Long Branch/New York/Hoboken-bound tracks. The southbound platform features some overhangs for protection from the elements but no major structures or services since the majority of people using this platform are inbound from the north due to there being only one more southerly stop. NJ Transit buses are frequently waiting adjacent to the southbound platform for connecting service for passengers arriving from stations northwards. The Point Pleasant Beach Station features a fairly spacious parking lot adjoining the station building and northbound platform.
The current building and platforms are only about 10 years old, a consequence of the station's redevelopment yielding the modern fixtures and services. The station is handicapped-accessible.
