TWO women have been rescued after becoming stuck off the coast of a popular North Yorkshire beach.

Scarborough Lifeboat station has issued a reminder to visitors after being called out to help two young women who had become cut off by the rising tide on Mascus Rock in the North Bay.

The incident took place on Wednesday with Scarborough’s Inshore Lifeboat (ILB) called to assist.

A spokesperson for the service said: “The ILB crew quickly located the casualties, brought them safely aboard, and returned them to shore, where they were met by HM Coastguard.

“If you are planning a walk along the coast, please remember to check tide times before setting out to avoid being cut off by the incoming tide.”
