About Tuckerton Seaport

Set on 40 acres beside Tuckerton Creek on the Jersey Shore, this seaport combines a museum with a working maritime village. Visitors can explore replica and historic buildings, interactive exhibits, and live aquatic displays, and can take a narrated creek tour or a scenic ferry ride to Beach Haven. The site also serves as a home for the Jersey Shore Folklife Center, which offers classes, tours, school programs, artist demonstrations, and changing exhibits. A boardwalk links 17 historic and recreated buildings, and a maritime forest and wetlands nature trail runs through the property.
