Eyes Along the Coast (visit)
Coastwatch Lookout Station, Beach Road Car Park, Marine Parade East, Lee-on-the-Solent, Hampshire, PO13 9LB
High technology and sophisticated systems such as radar and telecommunications have vastly improved safety at sea, but there is no substitute for a watchful pair of eyes. Drop in and talk to the Watchkeeper about their vital voluntary work along our waters and shores. See some of the equipment they use to keep a lookout!
HODs visitors are most welcome at the Lookout although, when an incident is ongoing, this may not always be convenient and the duty watchkeeper may ask visitors to call back later.
