Maritime rescue services were called into action on Tuesday afternoon, after two bodyboarders were caught in a rip in the sea at Manorbier.

Tenby RNLI’s all-weather lifeboat The Haydn Miller was launched shortly before 3 pm after the Coastguard received reports of two bodyboarders in trouble, six miles to the west of Tenby.

The volunteer crew made best speed to the area and as they were passing Old Castle Head, it was confirmed that the casualties had managed to make it ashore, where they were met by members of Tenby Coastguard Rescue Team. They were cold and shaken up, but otherwise unharmed.

The Haydn Miller was stood down to return to station, arriving at 3.30 pm.
