Newquay’s lifeboat volunteers responded to their RNLI pagers four times over the weekend.

Six people trapped by the tide were rescued. The RNLI volunteers assisted police in a search for a missing woman and responded to a 999 call reporting two paddle boarders in difficulties at dusk. 

A spokesperson for the RNLI said: ’Check local tide times before visiting the coast, and if you think you see anybody in difficulties, do not hesitate to call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.’
