Tenby’s inshore lifeboat launched shortly before 4.30 pm last Thursday after a member of the public spotted an upturned kayak off The Esplanande.

The lifeboat crew were quickly on the water and found the kayak off the Paragon Beach. It was taken aboard and dropped to the waiting RNLI lifeguards on South Beach.

As the volunteer crew were dropping off the kayak, a man approached the lifeguard hut on the beach saying that it was his kayak and that he had capsized off The Esplanade and that he had had to swim ashore at South Beach.

Once it was determined that nobody was in any danger, the lifeboat was stood down and returned to station.
