Bonds’ Lifesaving Station in Holgate is now a private residence.  It was one of six stations on Long Beach Island.

Tucker’s Island was a small community on an island/peninsula just south of Holgate.  The island had been inhabited since the late 1700’s. In the 1800’s Rueben Tucker purchased the island and built a home and small tavern. The community grew. Eventually it was about half the size of Beach Haven.

Photos of the schooner, Lucy Evelyn,  right after she was beached in Beach Haven and converted to a gift shop.

The Lucy Evelyn was a three masted schooner built in 1917 in Harrington Maine and homeported in Machias Maine.  She served for a number of years including the packet trade to South America. At one point in World War II, she was shelled by a German U-Boat and survived.

There is a solitary house on a small private island off Center Street in Beach Haven.

The fish factory processed Bunker. It was very active in the 1970’s. At some point after that, it ceased operations.

There are clam sculptures all around the island. The purpose is to make people aware of the need to keep the bay clean. However, my twisted mind saw something other than a clam.
