Yesterday evening, two people had to be rescued after being caught out by the rising tide.

Falmouth's inshore lifeboat was launched at 5.28pm to attend the incident between Gyllyngvase and Swanpool Beaches.

A spokesperson for the Falmouth RNLI told Nub News:

"They were walking along exploring the coastline, the advice would be to check tide times before going out onto the coast even if you aren't going in the water and you think you know the area quite well."

The Falmouth Coastguard Rescue Team in attendance were, Jamie Wakefield, Tamsin Mulcahy, Lloyd Barron and Tamara Brookes.

They made their way to the two casualties who had been stuck for an hour or more.

Having helped them into the inshore lifeboat, the crew returned the pair to the station.

If you see someone else in trouble, call 999 and ask for the coastguard.
