Very friendly staff and lots of lovely gifts to choose from. The museum is a must for travellers interested in the RNLI as there were plenty of staff available to give talks about this lovely charity and the area. Nice cup of tea nearby too.

Right on the seafront, this is not a large museum, but it is fascinating. It brings home just what a wonderful organisation the RNLI is. A list of all recsues & call outs, various artefacts & models & the volunteers manning the museum were very good indeed. You wont spend that long in there, but you really need to visit this museum.

Nice little museum. It's free but rather small. The gift shop is bigger than the actual museum.

Located next to the Wish Tower this is a real worthy cause. Small museum and gift shop. Details the history of this amazing voluntary cause. Well worth visiting and supporting.

A collection of interesting lifeboat history in a small space. Many of the stories and items have a local connection.

Great little shop and museum, worth a visit and a contribution, the RNLI need our support for the very good and dangerous life saving work they do, Christmas cards bought already. We visit each time we go to Eastbourne.

A good stock of RNLI-related goods and friendly, helpful volunteer staff who had time to chat but were aware of other customers.

RNLI gifts are good quality, interesting and good value. The museum part is tiny, but well worth checking out overall. A short visit is all that's needed - which could be combined with a walk along the prom.

This is a very small museum based in the old Victorian lifeboat station. It's founding story is unique and it tells a very interesting and poignant story of the station, the volunteers and their heroic deeds. You will only need 20 minutes. There are some excellent gifts for sale. I came here 30 odd years ago and I thought there was a lifeboat here at that time.

Whenever our grand children come to visit they always want to visit the lifeboat museum.
We all enjoy the many interesting items in the shop, and we save all our small change to put in the fascinating money machine outside. My sister in France even gets me to buy RNLI christmas cards for her.. Being placed by the beach it is a great stopping off place.

We visit this museum every time we come to Eastbourne and they always have something interesting. Each year I buy the following year's family calendar.

An historic place, I particularly enjoyed the boat which had come under fire from a German stuka in World War II.

Received a warm welcome from the gentlemen in the museum. They were glad to give us a brief history lesson and point out the items on display. Worth a visit and also a good shop to buy items that also support a very worthy organisation.

Good cause

This is open 364 days a year. The Museum shows the wonderful works of the R.N.L.I. with the volunteers eager to answer any questions. Well worth a visit to support and stock up on the many Life Boat orientated Gifts.
