NCI Exmouth is one of 60 National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) lookout stations around the coasts of England and Wales. We work with HM Coastguard and the RNLI by keeping watch over the estuary and the beach 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

The NCI is a charity and the NCI stations form a national volunteer service which keeps a visual watch for water users and people on and in the water and for those on the beach who may get into difficulties.

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

Have you got a couple of hours a month?

We pride ourselves on helping keep people safe in Exmouth. But we cannot do it alone.

If you would like to help us without being a watchkeeper, we have many other opportunities for you to join us, please see our volunteering roles here >>
