A 41-year-old man injured his lower leg while on Tenby's South Beach at the weekend. At approximately 3.35 pm on Sunday, Milford Haven coastguard paged the Tenby coastguard rescue team (CRT) to assist an ambulance crew to evacuate the man from the Iron Bar area of the beach. Initially, ambulance control had requested coastguard assistance and tasked the air ambulance 'Helimed 57A', but on arrival of the rescue units at the scene, it was clear that the helicopter would not be required and it was stood down. The man, on holiday with his family from Caerleon, Gwent, was placed in the coastguard recovery stretcher and transported by the lifeguards' quad-bike and trailer to the ambulance at the Fountains car park entrance to the beach, where it was decided by the family to return to their holiday accommodation and review the injury.
