Tuckerton is a borough in Ocean County on the Jersey Shore. As of the 2010 census, the population was 3,347. The area that is now Tuckerton used to be part of Little Egg Harbor Township, but was incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature in 1901. The borough of Tuckerton is still surrounded by Little Egg Harbor Township but is politically independent. However, since Little Egg Harbor has no actual "downtown" area, many people refer to both places and the surrounding suburbs as "Tuckerton." The village of Tuckerton is home to the Tuckerton Seaport, a working maritime museum and village. An interesting story about the area is that there used to be a "Tucker's Island," which was off shore from Little Egg Harbor and was probably New Jersey's first summer resort. The island contained private cottages, boarding houses, two hotels and a lighthouse, built in 1848. The entire island was wiped away in a storm, including the lighthouse. The Tuckerton Seaport Museum has re-created the lighthouse and other buildings that were on Tucker's Island. It's on a 40-acre site with 17 historic and recreated buildings altogether, connected by a boardwalk, a maritime forest and wetlands nature trail. Main Street in Tuckerton is lined with shops and stores, and also Stewart's Drive-In, which has been in operation since the 1970s. Tuckerton is also known for its' annual Decoy Show, usually held in September at nearby Tip Seaman Park.

Tuckerton Weather & Climate

East-central New Jersey , along the coast, has a humid subtropical climate with maritime influences. Continental and oceanic influences battle for dominance in the weather patterns on a daily to weekly bases. The coastal zone generally has warmer temperatures than the interior regions in winter. Sea breezes play a major role in the climate, and offer a cooling effect on hot summer days. Coastal storms, often characterized as nor'easters, are most frequent between October and April. These storms bring strong winds and heavy rains. Rarely does a winter go by without at least one significant coastal storm. Tropical storms and hurricanes are also a special concern along the coast, although plenty of warning is given for these types of storms.
