Tuckerton Marine Service Station

Located in Tuckerton, Ocean County, the Tuckerton Marine Service Station provides boat ramp access to Tuckerton Creek, a shallow estuarine waterway in southern New Jersey. This facility is well-suited for kayakers and canoeists exploring the quiet waters of the local creeks and adjacent estuary. The marina offers a concrete boat ramp for launching, along with marine supplies and bait & tackle services for anglers.

Paddlers launching here will find themselves in the heart of New Jersey's coastal wetlands, with easy access to the scenic waters surrounding Tuckerton Creek. The area is ideally positioned for exploring nearby protected waters, including proximity to the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve at Mullica River and Great Bay, as well as the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. These areas offer excellent opportunities for wildlife observation and peaceful paddling through salt marshes and estuarine habitats. Given the tidal nature of this area, paddlers should be aware of tidal influences when planning trips.
