Review:
Tuckerton is a quaint borough in Ocean County, named in honor of Ebenezer Tucker.
The town is best known for its Tuckerton Seaport maritime village and museum, which was opened in 2000 and showcases a number of recreated historic buildings that are connected by a lovely boardwalk and wetlands nature trail.
At the Seaport's Visitor Center, exhibits detail the habitats and wildlife of the Jersey Shore and the Barnegat Bay Estuary.
Preserved historic buildings include the relocated Tucker's Island Lighthouse, the historic Skinner-Donnelly and Periwinkle Houseboats, the working Perrine Boatworks, and the 1699 Andrews-Bartlett Household.
Along the city's Main Street, visitors can peruse shops, restaurants, and attractions such as the New Jersey Surf Museum. Map
