Broadstairs Lifeboat Station was a former lifeboat station in Kent, England. It was rather unusual, as it never had a boathouse, although a building was provided by the Harbour Commissioners in which to store all the equipment. The lifeboat was kept under a tarpaulin, and was stored on the pier at Broadstairs, a harbour town on the east coast of Kent. A lifeboat was first placed here in 1850, when one was presented to the town by former residents and lifeboat manufacturers Thomas and John White, now of Cowes. Management of the station was taken over by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1868. Broadstairs lifeboat station was closed in 1912.
