At 1515hrs on the 14/07/2012 we were called to reports of 2 persons on the sandbanks at the West Shore.Conwy ILB were launched and arrived on scene at 1520 along with us.
An RNLI Crew member walked out from the lifeboat onto the sandbanks towards the pair. The crew member advised the pair that the tide was coming in and they were soon to be cut off. The pair refused to accept the advice and continued fishing.
The RNLI crew member returned to the lifeboat and returned to station. We then advised the promenade inspector to keep an eye on the pair and call us out if they got into difficulty.
If you are going to visit Llandudno's West Shore please DO NOT walk out onto the lower part of the beach. This area is where the sandbanks are located. The tide will come in quicker than you think and you will be cut off. Please see the incident map to see where it is not safe to walk onto.
