The original & updates in 1905 & 2005. The new station currently houses two lifeboats, an all weather lifeboat and an inshore D class lifeboat. It was the first station to receive the new slipway-launched All weather lifeboat, the Tamar class, 'Haydn Miller'

Believe it or not The former Lifeboat station(with the red roof) is now a private home. The current RNLI station built in 2005, has a silver curved roof.

"Tenby Lifeboat Station is one of over 200 RNLI Lifeboat Stations in the UK. It is situated on the South West Wales Coast and is one of the busiest stations in the UK.

There has been a lifeboat in Tenby since 1852 when the Shipwrecked Mariners Society established the first lifeboat in the town. Things have changed a lot since then however – Tenby now has 2 lifeboats – a Tamar class All Weather Lifeboat and a D class Inshore Lifeboat."
