What a great place to visit, and it's free too, but you should always offer a donation to this essential lifesaving service that receives no Government funding. Plenty to see and read about, great for kids and grandparents alike. Don't miss it.

The old lifeboat provides the backdrop to a very interesting place to visit, with stories and pictures of some heroic and sad rescues.Well worth spending time to visit and then visiting the RNLI shop next door.

The Whitby open deck tour bus stops close by for about 20 minutes and therefore a perfect opportunity to nip in and get something thus supporting this famous institution

We have visited Whitby many times, and we always pop into the lifeboat museum. It is very important to support the volunteers in the lifeboat services, they risk their lives, saving others, usually from perilous situations of their own devising. The RNLI lifeboat museum is...More
