Come learn about one of the oldest buildings on the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, The Old Coast Guard Station. Built in 1903, the station was home to surfmen who worked for the United States Life-Saving Service. Learn all about the Life-Saving Service, the precursor to the Coast Guard, and the surfmen who served.
You’ll get the opportunity to try your hand at some of the skills our surfmen would use during their heroic rescues, such as semaphore and knot tying. Girls will have the opportunity to make their own surf check to take home and will participate in story time, offered throughout the day. During the event, girls will have the opportunity to complete the Explore The Old Coast Guard Station patch program.
This is a girl and adult event. No tagalongs. Adults may be asked to stay onsite to assist.
