The Amagansett U.S. Life-Saving & Coast Guard Station museum is dedicated to the historical preservation of the building and to all who served in the Life-Saving Service and Coast Guard in Amagansett until 1944. Restored to its original appearance and situated in the same footprint where it was built in 1902, the Amagansett Station is a significant part of the Town of East Hampton’s maritime history.

“You have to go out

but you don’t have to come back”

-Motto of the United States Life-Saving Service
