Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station
Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station Review
The restored 1911 Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station (pronounced "chik-a-ma-com-i-co") is now a museum that tells the story of the brave people who manned 29 stations that once lined the Outer Banks. These were the precursors to today's Coast Guard, with staff who rescued people and animals from seacraft in distress. Living-history reenactments are performed June through August.
