Two teenagers who went to Lihou Island had to be brought back to Guernsey by lifeboat after getting cut off by the rising tide.
At approximately 16:55 yesterday, Guernsey Coastguard received information that two teenagers had been left stranded on Lihou Island on the south west coast, after being cut off by the high tide.
At 17:05, the St Peter Port inshore lifeboat, the ‘John & Louisa’ Fisher was tasked to recover the two teenagers, arriving on scene at 17:52.
The lifeboat transported the teenagers safely back to the Lihou car park headland where they were met by their parents, the Lihou Island Warden and a Guernsey Coastguard officer who offered words of advice regarding the importance of knowing the opening and closing times of the causeway.
The inshore lifeboat returned to St Peter Port and was back on station at 18:59.
