Historic Life Saving Station overview
Historic Life Saving Station
One of the unique things that visitors will see at the Historic Life Saving Station is the equipment used by the life-saving crew. This includes the beach cart, which was used to transport equipment to a stranded ship, and the breeches buoy, which was used to rescue people from a sinking ship. Visitors will also learn about the history of the U.S. Life-Saving Service and the brave men who risked their lives to save others.
Another reason to visit the Historic Life Saving Station is to explore the surrounding area. The station is located on Higbee Beach, which is a beautiful and undeveloped stretch of coastline. Visitors can hike along the beach or through the surrounding dunes, which are home to a variety of plant and animal species.
Overall, the Historic Life Saving Station is a fascinating and educational destination that is well worth a visit. It offers a glimpse into the important role that the U.S. Life-Saving Service played in maritime history, and provides a unique opportunity to explore the natural beauty of New Jersey's coast.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
