Two people being swept out to sea on a paddleboard have been rescued.
It was called out to help the pair who were seen between Wells Beach and Scolt Head Island.
Meanwhile a third person swam out to help them back to shore.
Wells Lifeboat was called to the scene, but when it arrived, the trio had all made it back to dry land and were with the local coastguard.
Lifeboat Operations Manager, Chris Hardy, said “we are pleased that there was a happy outcome as it could so easily have been very different. The tidal currents around our coastline are extremely strong and the paddleboarders could have been swept out to sea, especially with an offshore wind. It is safer to paddleboard in the creeks where the land is always near or stay very close to the water’s edge if paddleboarding from the beach.”
