Morecambe hovercraft called to person cut off by tide at Silverdale

The Morecambe hovercraft was called out to help a person cut off by the tide at Silverdale.

Morecambe RNLI lifeboat volunteers were called at 9.05am on Saturday July 20 after reports of a person cut off by the tide near to Jenny Browns Point.

A Morecambe RNLI spokesperson said: "The inshore rescue hovercraft arrived on scene and assisted the casualty to the safety of the shore.

"This was a multi agency rescue and our thanks go to all parties involved.

"To avoid getting cut off by the tide: Before you head out, make sure it's safe. Check the tide tables. While you're out, be aware of your surroundings and the tide's direction."
