Lifeboats News Release

Whilst returning from the previous shout to Caldey Island, Tenby’s RNLI inshore lifeboat was diverted to three casualties that looked to be cut off by the incoming tide at 1st Point, Tenby.

The helmsman took the lifeboat into the rocks and the volunteer crew directed the casualties along a safe route the short distance back to Tenby’s North Beach.

Once the three were back on the beach, the lifeboat stood down and returned to station.
