A Coastguard spokesperson said: "The coast and the sea can catch you out whether you’re local or not.

"Our message remains: call 999 Coastguard if you’re in trouble. Please help us and our families stay safe. Be aware of the risks, keep your distance.

"In an emergency out at sea, on the beach or along the coast dial ️999 and ask for the Coastguard."
