Tenby's inshore lifeboat was launched at 3.20 pm on Saturday after Milford Haven Coastguard received reports that five youths had become cut off by the incoming tide at Monkstone Point.

The volunteer crew were soon on scene and located the casualties on the north side of Monkstone Point, making their way towards Swallow Tree Bay.

They were taken aboard the lifeboat where they were given lifejackets and checked over in case they required medical attention, before being dropped off into the custody Tenby coastguard team who were waiting at Saundersfoot Harbour.
