The Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade has said "periods of poor visibility at the coast due to the arrival of sea frets" has caused extra lifeboat callouts over the weekend.
Last week the region saw sunny warm weather with thousands of people flocking to the seaside to enjoy the cloudless skies. However, the coast was hit by dense fog on Friday afternoon as some of the North East favourite's beaches sat under a thick blanket of damp, cold mist.
Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade has said due to sea fret they responded to extra callouts to assist the Coastguard and RNLI during the weekend.
