The Munising Coast Guard boathouse has been converted into a small museum that contains a historic surf boat, surf cart, Lyle gun, and other interpretive displays about the lifesaving equipment used by the U.S. Coast Guard in the past. The Coast Guard station here operated from 1933 until it was decommissioned in 1960. 

The boathouse is located just west of park headquarters along Munising Bay. It is open daily during the summer months, as staffing permits. There is no fee.
