A group of six people including three children were rescued from the Holy Island causeway in Northumberland after abandoning their car due to the hide tides.
UK Coastguard requested the launch of Seahouses' inshore lifeboat at 5.50pm on Tuesday to assist three people, three children and a dog. The group had abandoned their car on the causeway and made their way into the Refuge Box.
The local Coastguard rescue teams were already in attendance and the Seahouses' inshore lifeboat evacuated the casualties from the Refuge Box. After two trips, the group were all safely on the mainland side of the causeway where they were handed into the care of local Coastguards.
