West Kirby RNLI was called out to two people stranded on Middle Eye.
On Friday 5 July, at 10:40am, the volunteer crew was dispatched by the coastguard following a call from RNLI Lifeguards.
The crew assessed both individuals and concluded that one casualty needed rescuing, whilst the other decided to stay until the tide went out.
The first casualty was brought back safely, whilst the coastguard and lifeguards continued to monitor the other person until he was able to walk ashore.
Andy Brown, West Kirby RNLI Launch Authority, said: “Never hesitate to call 999 and ask for the Coastguard if you or anyone is in danger near or on the water as we are happy to help.
“It’s always safer to go to a beach with RNLI Lifeguards on duty, find your local one here. They’ll happily let you know the best places to go and any local dangers.
“It is important that visitors to Hilbre and the surrounding areas make sure to check tide times before heading out and whilst on the beach be aware of what the tide is doing, remembering it can come in very fast.”
