Teacher Week at the Beach is back and returns to Jenkinson’s Beach and Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach from Wednesday, July 29, 2026, through Friday, July 31, 2026.
Launched in 2016 by Plymouth Rock’s Teachers’ Insurance Plan, this three-day Educator Appreciation event has welcomed thousands of educators and their guests over the years for a free day of fun in the sun. This year marks our sixth year hosting the event, and after expanding the invitation to Pennsylvania educators for the first time last summer alongside the launch of Teachers’ Insurance Plan in PA, we’re excited to welcome them back again this year.
Registered educators will receive a beach pass plus their choice of either aquarium or mini golf admission for themselves and one guest on one (1) event day. Attendees can also enjoy fun prizes and giveaways throughout the event. Passes are limited, so don’t wait too long to register! Limit one (1) beach pass and one (1) aquarium or mini golf pass per registrant and guest.
A limited number of passes will also be available each day for walk-up registrants. This offer is available exclusively to current or retired NJ and PA educational employees. Proof of employment, such as a school or union ID, will be required to receive passes.

Weather Policy: In the event of rain, the event may be temporarily closed. No rain dates are scheduled. Check this page or our Facebook page for news and updates on event closures or shortened hours due to weather. The event check-in table is in an outdoor area and will close for rain, etc.
Parking: Parking near the beach in Point Pleasant can be challenging. We suggest arriving early and parking in the lots in front of Frank’s Fun Center or the rides. A municipal parking area is also located nearby at the intersection of Arnold Ave.and Ocean Ave, as well as the train station parking lot at Cooks Rd. and Arnold Ave.
