Situated in Lepe Country Park near the entrance to Beaulieu River, NCI Stone Point views Lepe Spit and the central and western Solent; it is a satellite station of NCI Calshot Tower. In addition to keeping watch over the western Solent, Watchkeepers perform Foot Patrols to warn beach users of hazards such as off-shore winds and strong currents, and provide free sea safety literature.
