Two holidaymakers were saved from the rising tide at a coastal beauty spot by the quick-thinking of a six year old boy. Sharp-eyed Sam realised the two people had been stuck on the beach in Cornwall.
The boy then told his parents what was happening and they called the coastguard on 999. An RNLI lifeboat with volunteer rescuers was then launched to bring the two to safety, CornwallLive reports.
The tourists had got stuck on Star Beach near Trevaunance Cove in St Agnes and thanks to Sam, rescue was on the way minutes after his parents' call. They were then brought back to safety.
