Before Long Beach Island was known as a summer resort there was Tucker's Island. This true, Atlantis-like tale begins with the tragic experiences of the first known settlers to the lost island south of present-day Beach Haven. Through this film we learn how New Jersey's first Seashore resort came to be abandoned, reclaimed by stroms, tides and shifting sand, and nearly forgotten. Featuring local historian John Bailey Lloyd, and the last living residents' memories of the final years of Tucker's Island.

The history of a small fishing village and the lighthouse that made it famous, this film explores the history of Barnegat Lighthouse, the shore's most beloved landmark, as well as the evolution of a shore town that has retained much of its seashore charm. Featuring Long Beach Island historian John Bailey Lloyd, as well as Thomas P. Farner (New Jersey In History: Fighting to be Heard) iand Bill Gately (Sentinels of the Shore)
