Comments:

The picture showing the launch area was taken at the height of the tide, there is more beach there at other times of the tide cycle.

Nice park w/ restrooms, ample parking and a sand beach for launching. Located across from the entrance to Tuckerton Creek. Not far from First Bridge (the bridge is visible from the launch site). Easy to get to! I highly recommend the Stewart’s restaurant on SR-9 a half block south – have a frosty mug at a dockside table!
