Today, Port Isaac's crew and shore helpers man the station 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing full coverage of part of the north coast of Cornwall. Since that time, the lifeboat has responded to more than 623 calls, saving more than 333 lives. In the early 1960s the Royal National Lifeboat Institution introduced the Inshore Lifeboat, and in 1987 the Port Isaac Station reopened with a new class D inshore lifeboat. The former boathouse building was until recently the Post Office but is now a gift shop. The Port Isaac lifeboat station was established in 1869 following the delivery of the Richard and Sarah.

The historic core of the village was designated a Conservation Area in 1971 and North Cornwall District Council reviewed this in 2008 with the endorsement of a detailed Port Isaac Conservation Area Appraisal document and a related Conservation Area Management Plan. Fishermen still work from the Platt, landing their catches of fish, crab and lobsters. The pilchard fishery began here before the 16th century and in 1850 there were 49 registered fishing boats and four fish cellars. Small coastal sailing vessels were built below Roscarrock Hill. Apart from the corn that gave the town its name, the port handled cargoes of coal, wood, stone, ores, limestone, salt, pottery and heavy goods which were conveyed along its narrow streets. A 1937 history said, '.Tudor pier and breakwater have now yielded to a strong new sea-wall balanced by an arm on the opposite side of the cove, and we do not doubt that the fishermen sleep more soundly in their beds on stormy nights.' The village centre dates from the 18th and 19th centuries, from a time when its prosperity was tied to local coastal freight and fishing. Port Isaac's pier was constructed during the reign of Henry VIII.

However the pilchard shoals began to decline, and following World War I tourism became the mainstay of the economy. Once goods from locations further inland were better served by the North Cornwall Railway, the economy of the port relied on pilchard fishing, an activity that had likely been happening for centuries. During the Tudor period the harbour was dredged, a good illustration of its importance. Through the middle ages and up to the coming of the railways, Port Isaac was a thriving port serving the area inland. The origins of Port Isaac are likely Celtic and the development of the town can be roughly divided into three phases. History War Memorial listed Grade II for architectural and historic significance It also is home to the sea-shanty singing group Fisherman's Friends.
