The picturesqe village of Moelfre straggles along the edge of a rocky headland, which presents a danger to shipping in stormy weather.

So Moelfre's lifeboat station, opened in 1830.

is justly famous - with 37 medals awarded to its crews for gallantry during that time.

The station's current lifeboat, Tyne class Robert and Violet, is housed and slipway launched. A side extension to the boathouse was constructed in 1993 to also house the station's D class lifeboat and to provide improved crew facilities and additional space.
