Dozens of people were trapped on the sandbanks at Rhyl. The RNLI and coastguard provided assistance and escorted them to safety.
More than 100 people were rescued after an incoming tide left them trapped on a stretch of the Denbighshire coast.Police and volunteers from the local coastguard helped those stranded on the sandbanks at Rhyl, as deep gullies formed behind them on the beach.
The rescue operation took place between 4.05pm and 5.30pm on Saturday, and footage on Rhyl RNLI's Facebook page showed people on the beach in the distance being surrounded by the incoming tide. No one was injured and a spokesperson for HM Coastguard confirmed no medical assistance was required. RNLI crew members took the station Land Rover onto the beach to warn people of the danger and take them to safety.
The inshore lifeboat was used to take some back to shore, while others received assistance from the RNLI.
