Have You Ever Heard Of “The Atlantis Of New Jersey”?

In the late 1800s, Tucker's Island was home to a lighthouse, lifeguard station, two hotels, twenty summer cottages, and a community meetinghouse.

Every year, the ocean crept further and further up the beach. The hotels closed in 1910, and later collapsed and washed away; the lighthouse fell in 1927.

The island was located east of Tuckerton between Beach Haven and Little Egg Inlets.
