LLANDUDNO’s inshore lifeboat rescued a family of five stranded on the rocks by the incoming tide near the pier.
The boat was launched at noon on Easter Monday following a call from Holyhead Coastguards.
Volunteer lifeboat helm Luke Heritage said: “A member of the crew had to go ashore to assist the family to make a safe transfer to the lifeboat, we were then required to make two journeys to the old slipway nearby to handover the casualties to the Llandudno Coastguard Team”.
Captain Marcus Elliott, Llandudno Lifeboat Volunteer Operations Manager added:
“Thinking of local dangers, I would reiterate the need for everyone, whether local or not, to check tide times if they are planning to walk around the area’s beaches, particularly those at the resort’s west shore where being cut off by the tide is a common cause of lifeboat call outs”.
