Casino Pier is an amusement park situated on a pier (Amusement Pier), in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, USA. The pier extends approximately 300 feet (100 meters) into the Atlantic Ocean, from the narrow strip of the Barnegat Peninsula (approx. 6 blocks) in which Seaside Heights exists. Although most of Casino Pier's offerings exist on the pier itself, additional Casino Pier recreational and concessional areas are located on the boardwalk between Grant Avenue and Sherman Avenue.
Casino Pier is an amusement facility center composed of numerous rides, games, and concession stands. There are 38 rides on the pier for riders of all ages. On the pier are numerous rides, including children's rides, family rides, and thrill rides. There are, four roller coasters. Other attractions include, a rooftop miniature golf course, a skyride that runs the length of the Seaside Height's boardwalk north of Casino Pier, a figure 8 Go-Kart track, and numerous concession stands which serve typical boardwalk fare - pizza, cheesesteaks, sausage sandwiches, ice cream, funnel cake, lemonade, etc.
Located in the Casino Pier Arcade, between the boardwalk and Ocean Terrace is the historic antique carousel. The arcade also houses the Pier Grille restaurant. Additionally, there are numerous arcade games, from the latest claw and pusher redemtion games, to the latest video games, to classic arcade offerings such as Skee-Ball, Pinball, and Video Poker.
The pier itself comprises several games of chance, such as spinning wheels, but more often, the games involve a rudimentary amount of skill, for example, a ring toss, basketball shoot, a Hi-Striker, Speed Pitch, and Ladder Climb.
Casino Pier also has a water park across the street called Breakwater Beach that was remodeled from the original Water Works waterpark. Breakwater Beach was remodeled in 2003. Breakwater Beach incorporates numerous water slides with a heavy focus on families. Breakwater Beach is undergoing three phases of reconstruction. The first two are complete. During the second phase a Go-Karts track was added on the corner of Ocean Terrace and Grant Avenue.
