Sheltered Cove Marina

Sheltered Cove Marina is a well-maintained, full-service launch facility offering convenient access to Tuckerton Creek and nearby open water. The site features a concrete boat ramp with handicap-accessible docking, ample parking, and an organized facility layout. The marina's protected harbor and deep-water slips make it a reliable launch point in all tide conditions. From here, paddlers and boaters are less than 5 minutes to the bay and approximately 3 miles from the ocean, making it an excellent starting point for exploring the surrounding estuarine waters.

The location offers excellent proximity to quality recreation areas, including the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve and the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge—both outstanding paddling destinations. The nearby Tuckerton Seaport and various waterfront amenities provide convenient services and dining options. Paddlers should note that this is a commercial marina facility, so launching may involve fees and operational hours; contact the facility directly for current rates and access details.
