NCI Exmouth is one of 60 National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) lookout stations positioned along the coasts of England and Wales.
Staffed by trained volunteers, we work closely with HM Coastguard and the RNLI, maintaining a daily watch over the estuary and beach—7 days a week, 365 days a year.

As a registered charity, the NCI operates a nationwide volunteer network dedicated to keeping a vigilant eye on the coast. Our teams provide a vital visual watch, helping to ensure the safety of people in the water and on the beach who may be at risk or in difficulty.

We are also able to provide radio checks for vessels on VHF Channel 65, our callsign is "EXMOUTH NCI".
