🌊 Dramatic Sea Rescue at Gower Beach! 🚤
This Saturday morning, a man found himself in a bit of hot water when he got stranded by the incoming tide at the stunning Worms Head, Rhossili. Luckily, the brave RNLI crew from Horton and Port Eynon were on the scene in no time, making sure he made it back safely.
Apparently, the man, visiting from South Wales, misjudged the tide timings—easy to do on a lovely sunny day with that strong south-easterly wind blowing. The RNLI was quick to remind all beachgoers about planning walks around the tides. The causeway to Worms Head typically has a two-and-a-half-hour window around low tide, so it’s crucial to keep an eye on those timings. 📅
This rescue marked the first official call-out for crew member Georgina Entwistle, whose training made all the difference today. Kudos, Georgina! 👏 Her team, along with the Coastguard, ensures safety remains a top priority.
Remember: if you’re exploring the coast, always check tide times, bring a way to call for help, and if in doubt, don’t try swimming back. Call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
Stay safe as you enjoy the beautiful coastline! 🌊🏖️
