The 1910 Looff Carousel is a National Historic Landmark, originally manufactured by Charles I.D. Looff.
The Hydrus roller coaster features a beyond-vertical 97-degree drop.
A section of the original pier was famously swept into the ocean during Hurricane Sandy, becoming a symbolic image of the storm's impact.
The water park utilizes a 'Shower-In' system for its changing facilities to maximize space on the boardwalk.
Casino Pier & Breakwater Beach is a dual-facility complex in Seaside Heights featuring an oceanfront amusement pier and an integrated water park. The amusement section offers classic carnival-style rides, including the Hydrus roller coaster and a historic 1910 Looff Carousel. Breakwater Beach contains multiple water slides, a lazy river, and a splash pad designed for younger children. The site is situated directly on the Atlantic Ocean shoreline, utilizing a boardwalk layout for pedestrian access. Following significant structural damage from Hurricane Sandy in 2012, the pier underwent extensive reconstruction and modernization. The park maintains a mix of high-intensity thrill rides and traditional family-oriented attractions. Visitors access the pier via the extensive Seaside Heights boardwalk, which connects the venue to surrounding recreational areas.
The elevated view from the top of the Ferris wheel offers a panoramic shot of the boardwalk and the Atlantic coastline.
