USCG Sandy Hook refers to United States Coast Guard units stationed at Sandy Hook, New Jersey, a strategic location at the entrance to New York Harbor. The Coast Guard presence at Sandy Hook dates back to the establishment of the Sandy Hook Life-Saving Station in the mid-19th century, which became part of the U.S. Life-Saving Service and later merged into the Coast Guard in 1915. Throughout its history, the unit has played a vital role in maritime search and rescue, law enforcement, and aids to navigation for one of the nation’s busiest waterways. Today, USCG units at Sandy Hook continue to provide critical services ensuring the safety and security of the region’s maritime traffic.
