TWO teenagers were rescued yesterday as they were stranded by incoming tides while walking.
Skinningrove Coastguard was called to a point below Huntcliff, in Saltburn, following reports of two people cut off.
The 19-year-old and his friend, 16, from Brotton, east Cleveland, had been walking along the beach from Skinningrove. Redcar Lifeboat picked up the pair and took them ashore.
Coastguard spokesman Paul Waugh said: "The lads had been there about 30 minutes when we arrived. The survivors were not distressed and explained they had not realised the early tide for that area below the cliff."
