点评:I've been going to Pt. Pleasant beach since I was a little girl in the 60's. I brought my kids in the 80's and 90's and last year I brought my grandchildren. But it's just not the same. From all the restrictions of what you can bring on the beach (I mean exact measurements of your cooler??) to the water itself. We rented a house for the week and thankfully they had a pool in the backyard because you literally could not go in the water. We were there the second week of July and while Pt. Pleasant has always had some rough waves, these were simply deadly. There is a huge drop off now and the power of the waves and the pull of the water made it impossible to even just stand near to get your feet wet. The kids couldn't even play near the water so unless you're interested in spending the day on the beach with nothing to do but chase your kids away from the water, don't bother. The lifeguards seemed like they could care less about who was near the water or struggling to get away from it. These are not the lifeguards of yesteryear that's for sure. They were on their cell phones and not watching what was happening right in front of them. I could barely hang on to my grandson and try to maintain my balance. No one was in the water, but of course they don't tell you that when they're charging you a small fortune to go onto the beach. The boardwalk isn't the same either, dirtier, louder, the staff aren't as polite or helpful as they used to be. It's just not the family friendly place of years ago. Bathrooms were very dirty as well. So very sad to see one of my favorite childhood memories slip through the cracks. On the plus side, the fireworks are always great, it's near some of our favorite restaurants (Shrimp Box, Wharfside, Jack's) the kiddie rides and arcade were a hit with the little ones.
翻译:我从 60 年代还是个小女孩的时候就开始去 Pt. Pleasant 海滩了。80 年代和 90 年代我带着孩子去,去年我带了孙子孙女去。但这里和那里完全不一样。从带上海滩的东西的所有限制(我的意思是带上冷却器的精确尺寸??)到水本身。我们租了一间房子住了一个星期,幸好他们在后院有一个游泳池,因为您真的不能下水。我们是在 7 月的第二周去的,虽然 Pt. Pleasant 一直都有一些汹涌的海浪,但这些海浪简直是致命的。现在海平面急剧下降,海浪的力量和水的拉力使得您甚至无法站在附近弄湿脚。孩子们甚至不能在水边玩耍,所以除非您有兴趣在海滩上度过一天,除了把孩子从水边赶走之外无事可做,否则就别费心了。救生员似乎根本不在乎谁在水边或挣扎着逃离水面。这些救生员肯定不是过去的救生员。他们一直玩手机,没有注意眼前发生的事情。我几乎无法抓住我的孙子并试图保持平衡。水里没有人,但当他们向你收取一笔不小的费用以进入海滩时,他们当然不会告诉你这一点。木板路也不一样了,更脏,更吵,工作人员不像以前那么有礼貌或乐于助人。这里不再是几年前那个适合家庭的地方了。浴室也很脏。看到我最喜欢的童年记忆之一从裂缝中溜走,我感到非常难过。从好的方面来说,烟花总是很精彩,它靠近我们最喜欢的一些餐厅(Shrimp Box、Wharfside、Jack's),儿童游乐设施和游戏机很受小孩子的欢迎。
