Tucker's
Island (recreation)
latitude 39º 36' 7" N longitude 74º 20'
33.5" W
Eight years after the original lighthouse was lost, the Coast Guard
station was claimed by the sea. The entire island had disappeared by
1952.
In the 1980s, a group of southern Ocean County sportsmen expressed
concern that the old ways of bay life were in danger of extinction. This
group’s vision led to the eventual creation of
Tuckerton Seaport. One of
the many buildings at the seaport is a re-creation of Tucker’s Island
Lighthouse. Located some six miles west of its original location, the
lighthouse should be quite safe from the sea.
