In an emergency at the coast, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard.
NCI Exmouth is one of 61 National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) lookout stations positioned along the coasts of England and Wales.
Staffed by trained volunteers we work closely with HM Coastguard and the RNLI, maintaining a daily watch over the estuary and beach—7 days a week, 365 days a year.
We are also able to provide radio checks for vessels on VHF Channel 65, our callsign is "EXMOUTH NCI".
