Visit Tuckerton, New Jersey to find all sorts of historic attractions and things to do. While everyone knows that the Tuckerton Seaport is the place to go for events, festivals, and fun museum visits, the rest of this town is painfully overlooked. Check out a few of our favorite attractions and historic spots in this little town by the sea. We do love the seaport area, but there’s so much more to see.
Tuckerton Seaport Museum, 120 W Main St, Tuckerton, NJ 08087, USA
The Seaport area should be the first stop when you're spending a day in Tuckerton. This historic area features a museum, a port, and a maritime village. It also hosts events, including the Duck and Decoy water festival and food truck days.
Historic Rands Marina
So, this spot and the surrounding road have quite a history. Now known as Great Bay Boulevard, the road was originally intended to connect Tuckerton with the barrier islands. It was called Seven Bridges Road, and it was never completed. At last count, there are four briges that lead to the end of the road near the Rutgers Ecologic Station.
Anyway, the Rands Marina is a historic spot with decades-old boat slip spots and a favorite spot for photographers shooting sunrise or Milky Way astrophotography.

The Lizzie Rose House is one of the most interesting properties in the town. This Victorian was built in 1846 as the customs house for the nearby seaport. A local captain bought it for his family, and it was rumored to be a stop on the Underground Railroad, too. After it fell into disrepair, it was purchased by the Reichard family and restored. Today, it's a tea room and restaurant where you can truly feel the history as you walk through.
