Weston-super-Mare Lifeboat Station is located in Weston-super-Mare, a seaside town and resort approximately 20 miles (32 km) south-west of Bristol, on the south / east shore of the Bristol Channel, in Somerset, England.
A lifeboat station was established at Weston-super-Mare in 1882 by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). For more than 100 years it was situated on Birnbeck Island but is now temporarily accommodated at Knightstone Harbour, until a new lifeboat station can be built nearby.
The station currently operates a B-class (Atlantic 85) Inshore lifeboat, Alexander (B-875), on station since 2023, and the smaller D-class (IB1) Inshore lifeboat, The Adrian Beaumont (D-832), on station since 2018.
