Oregon Inlet Station is a historic lifesaving station located near Rodanthe in Dare County, North Carolina, built in 1897 by the United States Life-Saving Service. The 1½-story Shingle Style structure is a rectangular frame building with a distinctive lookout tower and a wraparound porch. Remodeled in 1933 and again in 1970, it represents the architectural legacy of the seven lifesaving stations established on the Outer Banks in 1874 to assist vessels navigating the treacherous waters off the North Carolina coast. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
