Beach walkers raise alarm near Burnham-On-Sea lighthouse

-


A Burnham-On-Sea lifeboat was called to investigate concerns about three people walking on the mudflats at low tide near the town’s famous beach lighthouse on Wednesday evening (July 1st).

A lifeboat spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “The crew of the Staines Whitfield were undergoing regular training and were tasked by Swansea Coastguards at 8.45pm to investigate a report of three persons walking on the mud, at low water, adjacent to Burnham’s well-known beach lighthouse.”

“The lifeboat crew diverted, but by the time they arrived at the location, the persons had left the mud by themselves.”
