Jenkinson’s Beach has palm trees! I see them as a metaphor for the beach itself. Why are there palm trees in New Jersey? They are fun and beachy, but clearly not native to the area and can’t survive on their own.

So, you’re planning a trip to Jenkinson’s Beach. What can you expect to find there? Beach badges are required for entry to the beach. The beach is relatively wide and extends approximately 1 mile from Manasquan Inlet south. The sand at Jenkinson’s Beach is a dark beige mixture of fine sand and broken shells. Events are held frequently at the beach and boardwalk.
