Girls cut off by tide


A teenaged girl was recovered from the water near Heysham yesterday and another made it to shore after they were cut off by the tide.

 

The UK Coastguard would like to remind those who are enjoying our coastline this summer to check tide times to ensure that they do not become cut off by the tide.

 

Senior Maritime Operations Officer Bill Downing for the UK Coastguard said:

 

“Many beaches have tide times at their entrance or you can check times on line. If you do get cut off by the tide, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard or if you do not have a phone shout for help.”
