Welcome to NCI Calshot Tower Lookout Station. The station is situated on Calshot Spit where Southampton Water meets the Solent, one of the busiest coastal sea locations in the UK. In 2019 the Station was awarded the Queens Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS).
Since summer 2019, NCI Calshot Tower is also manning a satellite station at Stone Point (in Lepe Country Park); please see the NCI Stone Point website for present staffing hours.
