==Lifeboat== {{main|Port Isaac Lifeboat Station}} A [[Royal National Lifeboat Institution]] (RNLI) [[Lifeboat (rescue)|lifeboat]] station was opened at Port Isaac in 1869. The ''Richard and Sarah'' was kept in a boat house on Fore Street, from where it had to be taken through the narrow streets of the village on a carriage to be launched. A new lifeboat station was built in 1927 next to the beach but this closed in 1933. An Inshore Lifeboat has been stationed at Port Isaac from 1967. Since 1993 it has been kept in the lifeboat station built in 1927; the original lifeboat station is now a shop.<ref>{{cite book| title = Cornwall's Lifeboat Heritage | last = Leach| first = Nicholas| publisher = Twelveheads Press| pages= 47β48|edition=2nd | date = 2006}}</ref> Port Isaac's lifeboat has been the [[D-class lifeboat (IB1)|D-class]] ''Copeland Bell'' since 2009.<ref>{{cite web| title = Port Isaac station history | website = RNLI | url = https://rnli.org/find-my-nearest/lifeboat-stations/port-isaac-lifeboat-station/station-history-port-isaac | access-date = 4 February 2024}}</ref>
