Tenby inshore lifeboat launched after report of people possibly cut off by tide.
Tenby's inshore lifeboat launched shortly before 11pm on Sunday 22nd May, following a report to the Coastguard from a member of the public at Coppet Hall, stating that people may be cut off by the tide in the vicinity of Swallow Tree, Saundersfoot.
Once it was confirmed by members of Tenby Coastguard Rescue Team that these were the people that were reported as possibly being in danger, the lifeboat was stood down to return to station, arriving at 11.20pm.
