Berwick Coastwatch and its volunteers maintain a watch of the coastline and sea at Berwick-upon-Tweed We are also members of the Civil Defence Association.

We keep a listening watch on the VHF marine distress channel 16 and liaise with the Humber Coastguard Operations Centre. We provide advice and information to visitors using the beaches and walking the coast path. We also carry out mobile patrols, who will visually check for signs of further cliff erosion, checking any safety equipment is useable and periodically pick up the ever increasing amounts of plastic rubbish found on the beaches. Other environmental activities include monitoring and data collection for Northumberland Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority and also watching for and reporting Cetacean activity to the Sea Watch Foundation. Berwick Coastwatch is a member of the Sea Safety Group which is an association of independent Coastwatch stations and provides representation for the member stations at national level. All funds raised by Berwick Coastwatch are used to maintain and equip the lookout tower and to provide a service to the local community. Berwick Coastwatch Look-out tower is located at Magdalene Fields Golf course. Lat / Long: 55° 46.407N. 001° 59.618W OS Grid Ref: NU 005534
