The Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station & Museum brings to life and puts into perspective the life saving history of the Outer Banks area. It is a self guided tour that tells the story of the changes through the decades of how the men of life saving stations risk their lives saving others via ship disasters. We were very impressed with the buildings, the equipment and the numerous artifacts of the museum. This is a must see for history buffs and highly recommended for anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating life of the Surfmen on the Outer Banks.

Just a wonderful experience from begining to end. It is a self guided tour, so you can take your time. The volunteers are full of historic information. You truly go back in time,and learn of all the heroism that was so prevalent in those days. Don't miss it!

We stopped in not knowing what to expect and were very pleasantly surprised by what they had to offer. The tour is self guided which allows you the time to really look at the exhibits.There are so many pictures and artifacts. The attention to detail was amazing. The staff is very friendly and happy to answer your questions. You will come away with an appreciation for what it took to save lives during that period and the dedication of those who served.
