One man and a dog were found surrounded by the incoming tide.

The RNLI volunteers took the casualty to the safety of the shore by hovercraft.

A spokesperson for Morecambe RNLI said: “Heading to the coast or out on the water is a great way to have fun and stay active.

"But, if you're not careful, it's a lot easier to get into trouble in the water than you might think.

“Conditions can change quickly and if you're not prepared, you can easily get caught out.

“If you see anyone in trouble within the bay call 999 or 112 and ask for the coastguard.”
