US Coast Guard Station Tours

The Coast Guard Station in Newburyport stands as a testament to over 100 years of service to the opening of the Merrimack River and the coastal regions from the North Shore to Portsmouth, NH. All are invited for a special tour of the facility and get a close-up look at the inner workings of this very busy station.

Now located on Water Street in Downtown Newburyport, the station is a base of operations for search and rescue of boats and yachts in trouble in a notoriously dangerous river mouth and surrounding coast. Considered home to the first Coast Guard station in the United States, Newburyport continues to maintain the early light houses erected by the Coast Guard in it's downtown area.
