A Message from Mayor Kanitra – 3/24/20

Attention Residents and Visitors, please see the message below from the Mayor of Point Pleasant Beach:
 
The Borough of Point Pleasant Beach is in the process of taking two additional proactive steps in our ongoing battle against the Coronavirus pandemic. The measures below are vital to maintaining public health and safety in our community.
 
Physical barriers will soon be placed on the Boardwalk & Inlet Parking Lot to make it impossible for the public to congregate there. It is simply too narrow an area for people to keep a proper 6 foot radius around themselves at all times. This step has been taken with the cooperation of Jenkinsons and Martells and we thank them for their assistance. For now, access to the beach remains open, but if we see instances of social distancing not taking place, we will be forced to close those points as well.
 
Additionally, a resolution is being drafted to place an immediate moratorium on the renting of all vacation homes and properties. This will include all online, private and realtor driven transactions. Resources in our area are limited in the off-season and we do not currently have the capacity to handle an influx of guests. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to town when this situation has passed and we are fully open for business once more.
 
Thank you as always for your support and understanding.
 
Paul M. Kanitra
Mayor
