We asked, you voted -- and one of your most popular "Road Trip" spots in New Jersey is Jenkinson's Boardwalk.
"Everyone who visits here says the same thing," says Randy Crate, of Point Pleasant. "It's a family boardwalk."

The stretch of boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach really does have fun for the whole family, including three arcades located along the boardwalk where you can earn tickets for fun prizes.
Amusement rides provide a thrill for all ages, and a more subdued train ride takes you around the outside of the rides so you can pick your favorite one.
Boardwalk favorites, such as funnel cake, fried Oreos and pizza are available every couple of feet.
If you'd rather spend some time indoors, the Jenkinson's Aquarium is the place for you.
Stingrays, sharks, and penguins are just a few of the exhibits.
For the adults, there's Jenk's Nightclub, one of the hottest places on the Jersey Shore during the summer.
