Located near the Chesapeake Bay west of the Cape Henry Station. The Life Saving Service abandoned the Cape Henry site after the Army took full control of Fort Story (except the lighthouse) prior to World War II. Built in 1938 and, although greatly improved, the facility is still a current Coast Guard base of operations for the region.

HOW TO GET THERE

• From Shore Drive (US 60) - enter the base from either Gate 1 (Little Creek Road) or Gate 5 (Independence Blvd).
  NOTE: Visitors cannot enter Gate 3 which would actually be the closest to the station.
• Follow Amphibious Dr (from Gate 1, turn right / from Gate 5, turn left).
• Turn onto Abbott Road adjacent to Gate 3 and follow to the sharp right-hand turn.
• The entrance is on the left of that same sharp right-hand turn.

A larger facility was built in 1903, but the original building was retained for other functions. The Life Saving Service abandoned the Cape Henry site after the Army took full control of Fort Story (except the lighthouse) in the 1930's. The station would have been in the line of fire from the gun batteries. The Little Creek Station was built as the successor to the Cape Henry Station.

Originally situated in the adjacent 24th Street Park and rotated 90 degrees. This is one of the last surviving Coast Guard Life Saving Stations in Virginia.

Currently, it is known as the Old Coast Guard Station Museum and Gift Shop. This facility was built in 1903. The original facility, built in 1878, was located across Atlantic Avenue where the Post Office is now located. The Virginia Beach station was decommissioned in 1969.
