A voluntary organisation keeping a visual watch along UK shores

Visit Us

 

You can visit the lookout when we're open. Our friendly watchkeepers will be more than happy to invite you in, subject to operational reasons. We're open everyday 0800 to 1700 during winter and 0800 to 2000 during summer.

The lookout is located next to Shoreham Fort. Access is via Forthaven where there is a pay & display car park. There are local bus services from Old Fort Road which runs Monday to Saturday.

Disabled Access Disclaimer

Unfortunately, due to the nature of our facility and the surrounding shingle beach, we are unable to provide access for the disabled. Our lookout room is situated on the first floor and access is via external stairs.

If anyone who is unable to access the station wishes to find out more about what we do, please use the email us. A presentation with photos of the inside of the station and information on NCI Shoreham can be arranged by appointment if you have a suitable venue available.

About

Currently almost 60 National Coastwatch stations are operational and manned by over 2600 volunteer watchkeepers around the British Isles from Fleetwood in the North West, through Wales, to the South and East of England to Filey in North Yorkshire. 

National Coastwatch watchkeepers provide the eyes and ears along the coast, monitoring radio channels and providing a listening watch in poor visibility. They are trained to deal with emergencies offering a variety of skills and experience, and full training by the National Coastwatch ensures that high standards are met.
