The RNLI has issued a tide warning for Northumberland after being called out twice in a matter of days to the north coast of the county.
At 13:44 on Sunday afternoon, two adults and a child were reported to be cut off by the rising tide at Budle Bay, just north of Bamburgh, where they were walking across the sand flats.
The Inshore Lifeboat launched and on its arrival, the casualties were seen safely ashore on the beach. The Lifeboat was stood down and returned to the station.
