A man had to be rescued with the help of a California Highway Patrol helicopter on Tuesday from San Francisco 's Marshall's Beach after becoming stranded by the tide. Emergency crews from the CHP and San Francisco Fire Department began the rescue operation at about 6:30 p.m. The U.S. Park Police also responded to the scene. The public was asked to avoid the area around the beach, which is just west of the Golden Gate Bridge.
The man had become ill while on the beach, which prevented him from accessing the trail before the tide came in, according to SFFD spokesman Capt. Justin Schorr. A boat rescue and rope rescue were considered, but the person's illness made those too difficult. The CHP helicopter was about 11 minutes away, close enough to make it the best option, Schorr said. The man was hospitalized with a moderate illness after being stabilized on the beach by SFFD paramedics.
