Tenby’s inshore lifeboat was tasked to launch just before 4.30 pm on Sunday after a report that a family of three were cut off by the tide at Monkstone.

After a brief search, the volunteer crew located the casualties. The helm negotiated his way through the rocks to recover a father, son and daughter from rocks that were due to be submerged by the incoming tide.

The casualties were taken aboard the lifeboat and checked over to make sure they were unharmed, before being returned to Saundersfoot Harbour, where they were met by members of Tenby Coastguard Rescue Team.
