YESTERDAY (May 21) was a “very busy day” for the Llandudno Coastguard crew, with five call-outs to assist people in trouble.
The team was working alongside colleagues from Rhyl’s Coastguard crew at times, as well as Rhyl’s Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) branch.
Calls ranged from searching for potentially lost people, to paddle-boarders needing help, to jet-skiers who had run aground on the sandbanks.

Llandudno Coastguard said: “Fortunately, all of these episodes ended positively.
“If you are intending to go out on the coastline, please prepare appropriately.
“Life jackets for paddle-boarding are essential. Going for a walk on the beach, make sure that you know if the tide is coming in or going out.
“Out jet skiing, life jackets, torches and a knowledge of the waters around you are essential.
“If you see someone in trouble on the coastline, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.”
