2nd Manasquan, Point Pleasant Beach Tug-Of-War At Manasquan Inlet

MANASQUAN – The rivalry between Manasquan and Point Pleasant Beach will continue. And once again, it will be over water: the Manasquan Inlet.

The second-annual Intercoastal Tug-O- War event will take place at the Manasquan Inlet with rope a stretching across the inlet, and groups from each town tugging.

So save the date for the second annual tug, which will be Saturday, Oct. 12. First heat will be 11 a.m.

Last year, in one heat, Manasquan first responders won. In another heat, Point Pleasant Beach teachers won. In yet another tug, the Point Pleasant Beach Gym team from MacGregor's won (watch video below).

The event included a festival on both the Manasquan and Point Pleasant Beach sides of the inlet to compliment the tug event that matched teams from each town/county against one another, according to the Manasquan Inlet Intercoastal Tug- O – War Committee.

The rope used for the event was equipped with a quick disconnect to accommodate emergencies and the flow of boat traffic. The Brielle and Manasquan Fire Departments were in place with their vessels to assist with the removal and securing of the rope.

Here are videos of the event:
