Located on the outskirts of the tiny town of Rodanthe, the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station is one of the most complete life-saving stations in the country. The site is home to two stations and five exhibit buildings filled with information on the history of maritime rescue, and it typically takes between 1 and 2 hours to explore. Self-guided tours include the opportunity to watch an educational video, and special presentations are available for groups of 20 or more people if reserved at least two weeks in advance. The station is open between mid-April and November, and rescue demonstrations are held during the warmer months.
