To the right of this photo is the lifeboat station, and the ramp is visible in the photo. Established over 200 years ago, Exmouth Lifeboat Station opened a new station and boathouse in 2010, which houses a Shannon class lifeboat and an inshore D class lifeboat.



The lifeboat is called 'R and J Welburn' and was funded by a generous legacy from Mrs Joan Welburn who lived in Sidmouth and named in memory of her husband Raymond. The naming ceremony occurred on 9 May 2015.
