Gyllyngvase Surf Life Saving Club has moved into new premises after eight years in a rusting shipping container, after Falmouth Town Council have given it space in the beach's toilet building.
The club will use two-thirds building, and the remaining section will remain a unisex facility for public use.
Club chairman Matthew Stone said: "It has taken a lot of hard work from everyone on the committee, helpful members, local contractors and the town council to allow the club to have a permanent storage facility in Falmouth.
"We are grateful to the generosity of the Gylly Beach Cafe for allowing the life saving club to store our equipment on their land to date. It has been a massive help. However, due to future plans on our previous site we needed to find a new home for the club."
Gyllyngvase SLSC was founded in October 2008, and is now one of the largest clubs in the country, teaching the skills needed to qualify as a surf lifesaving beach lifeguard to everyone from 7years old to adults, and qualified, members are encouraged to volunteer or work on local beaches in the summer seasons with the RNLI Lifeguard.
