Dog walkers rescued after getting cut off by the tide at Marske

A group of dog walkers had to be rescued after they were cut off by the tide at Marske near Redcar on Monday November 14.

A man and two women were walking a pair of dogs on the beach just before half past eleven in the morning when they found themselves marooned on a sand bar near Cliff House.

They telephoned the UK Coastguard to raise the alarm and two RNLI lifeboats from Redcar together with the Skinningrove Coastguard Rescue Team were sent to the scene.

The crew then used one of the lifeboats to ferry the walkers and their pets, a collie-type dog and a spaniel, back to the beach at Marske where they were put into the care of the UK Coastguard team.
