The RNLI was called out to the Northumberland Coast on Monday afternoon after two paddle boarders were reported to have got into difficulty near Bamburgh.
Seahouses RNLI launched its inshore lifeboat to the paddleboarders' reported position, where two casualties were found. The man and woman were struggling against the currents and unable to get back ashore on Bamburgh Beach.
They were taken aboard the lifeboat and landed safely on the beach with their gear, where they were handed onto the local Coastguard Rescue Team. The inshore lifeboat then returned to the station.
