RNLI Portishead Lifeboat Station |
Portishead Lifeboat Station is located at Pier Road, in the town of Portishead, located on the Severn Estuary in North Somerset.
A lifeboat was stationed at Portishead in 1996 by the Portishead Lifeboat Trust (PLT), an independent lifeboat, operating from Sugar Loaf Beach. Management of the station was taken over by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 2015, following construction of a new lifeboat station, opened adjacent to Portishead Pier.
