Founded in 1898 as a Lifeboat Station for the US Lifesaving Service, Station Harbor Beach was taken over by the US Coast Guard in the 1930's and saw heavy use during the Second World War, training new Coast Guard recruits. The station was closed as a full-time facility in 1973 due to budget constrictions and remained operational as a seasonal, summer-only station manned by USCG Auxiliary and Reserve Units.
In 2004, Station Harbor Beach was formally re-opened as a full-time fully crewed station and remains so today as part of the US Coast Guard's 9th District, Sector Detroit.
