With the Easter school holidays coming up, we would advise that anyone going to the coast, makes sure that they check the tide times, and know their limitations to any water activity they are undertaking. We want everyone to enjoy their holidays at the coast and to go home safe. If you see anyone in trouble at the coast dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
