Since the development of photography in the midnineteenth century; the camera has been used as a tool of both discovery and preservation. Photographs bring alive our image of the past; and can open a floodgate of memories and nostalgia or inspire curiosity and a sense of history. Point Pleasant and Point Pleasant Beach have always been two of New Jersey�s most dynamic coastal communities. The scenic beauty and simple charm of the area remains undisturbed today; and it is easy to see why it has been a popular tourist destination for more than two centuries. The last one hundred years have also seen the formation and development of several important industries in the region; including shipbuilding and commercial fishing. This combination of business and recreation; of modern industry and Old World charm; is why Point Pleasant and Point Pleasant Beach remain two of the most vivacious and magnetic communities on the coast of New Jersey.

A look into the pastBy VBeachBeing from the area and having taken a class back in the day about the local history.....this was a trip down memory lane and an informative insight into the local communities.
