Now known as Great Bay Boulevard, the road was originally intended to connect Tuckerton with the barrier islands. It was called Seven Bridges Road, and it was never completed. At last count, there are four briges that lead to the end of the road near the Rutgers Ecologic Station.Anyway, the Rands Marina is a historic spot with decades-old boat slip spots and a favorite spot for photographers shooting sunrise or Milky Way astrophotography.
