Sheringham Lifeboat Station is located at the western end of The Promenade in Sheringham, a town approximately 26 miles (42 km) north of Norwich, and just 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Cromer, on the north-east coast of the English county of Norfolk.
A private lifeboat was established in Sheringham in 1838, operating until 1935. A second lifeboat station was established by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1867.
Since 1992, with All-weather lifeboats to the east at Cromer, and to the west at Wells-next-the-Sea, Sheringham has operated a B-class Inshore lifeboat. The station currently operates the B-class (Atlantic 85) Inshore lifeboat The Oddfellows (B-818).
In December 2024, a full structural survey was undertaken of the current station, built in 1936. Once published, the findings indicated that the building may be at the end of its lifespan. This, combined with a further report that the cliff to the rear of the station may be unsafe, prompted a complete suspension of activity at the station in February 2025.
