Morecambe Lifeboat have issued a warning to people venturing out on the sands to check the tide times after two call outs in two days.
Both the inshore hovercraft and the inshore lifeboat were launched to assist local coastguard teams in the search for the people.
Nothing was found on scene. This was a call with good intent and both craft returned base ready for service and the crews had a nice cold drink. A spokesman for Morecambe Lifeboat said: “A reminder for all those using Morecambe Bay and venturing out on the sands – the speed of the incoming tide is faster than you can run. The tide can also come in around you cutting you off from the shore.
“With the hot weather upon us we know there will be many visitors to the area. Please check tide times when venturing out on the bay. Ensure you’re off the sands when the tide is incoming. If anyone sees people in danger and cut off from the shore dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.”
