Two teenagers rescued after getting trapped by high spring tide in Newquay
The 14-year-olds were stuck on rocks between Towan Beach and South Quay this time last week
Two 14-year-old boys have had to be rescued, after getting trapped by the high spring tide in Newquay.
The lads were stuck near the harbour last Monday, between Towan Beach and South Quay.
The town's RNLI lifeboat was paged at around 5.15pm.
It was the first of two shouts last week - the second involved a search for a missing person after clothing was found near Whipsiderry.
The crews searched the coast between Porth and Watergate Bay, before police confirmed the person was safe.
"Newquay RNLI volunteers were alerted at 5.14pm on Monday (1st March) and launched the charity's D class inshore lifeboat to assist two boys trapped on rocks by the high spring tide near Newquay Harbour.
"With around 90-minutes remaining until high water, and in a moderate south easterly breeze, the lifeboat crew rescued the two 14-year-old boys from the rocks between Towan Beach and South Quay and landed them safely at the harbour within ten minutes of launching.
"Newquay RNLI lifeboat crew were alerted again on Thursday (4th March), which marked 197-years since the national charity was founded in 1824.
"The crew were called at 8.47am and tasked to search for a missing person, following reports of discarded clothing found near Whipsiderry.
"In a moderate north easterly breeze, the charity's D class inshore lifeboat was launched and the crew performed a search of the coast between Porth and Watergate Bay, before the person was confirmed safe by police at 9.40am.
"The lifeboat returned to Newquay Harbour and was made ready for service again by 10am.
"Gareth Horner, Newquay RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager said: "If you're lucky enough to live near the coast and able to visit at the moment, please remember to check tide times, watch your exits and in an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard'."
