West Tuckerton is an unincorporated community located within Little Egg Harbor Township in Ocean County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It is commonly mistaken as part of Tuckerton Borough, which it borders. West Tuckerton is usually defined as Little Egg Harbor's "town center", but the boundaries extend all the way to the Bay and contains many subdivisions that are not normally considered part of West Tuckerton and usually mistaken to be part of neighboring Mystic Island.
