Boardwalk - Beach in Point Pleasant, New Jersey

by John Margolies

Captured in 1978 by architectural critic and roadside photographer John Margolies, this fine art photograph offers a peaceful perspective of the Point Pleasant, New Jersey boardwalk. Framed by classic beachside architecture, warm wooden boardwalk planks, and signature 1970s amusement park signage (including Herman’s Amusements and Ray's Lucky Gold Coast), this piece captures a timeless slice of Atlantic Coast heritage.

Part of Margolies’ renowned Roadside America archive—preserved in the Library of Congress—this print combines crisp geometric composition, soft vintage tones, and nostalgia. It is an ideal addition to a coastal home, beach house, or living room, and a thoughtful gift for lovers of retro photography and Jersey Shore history.
