AREA ATTRACTIONS


The Inn provides the perfect starting point for your day, whether traveling for business or enjoying a New Jersey vacation. It is located in the heart of historic Tuckerton, NJ and is within walking distance of the Tuckerton Seaport and Baymen's Museum, Lake Pohatcong, and Tip Seaman Park, a recreational facility maintained by Ocean County. The park contains picnic areas, public tennis courts and baseball fields.

Within a five-minute drive of Tuckerton are two excellent golf courses: Sea Oaks and Atlantis.

This area is an excellent destination for bird watching. Bird watchers and naturalists alike can enjoy the sights and sounds of waterfowl and migrating birds, while hiking in the wetlands that lie between the ocean and the New Jersey Pine Barrens.

Kayaking and canoeing along some of the East Coast's most scenic and mysterious rivers can provide serenity and true understanding of the meaning of "wilderness".
