RNLI reminding people to use extreme caution when on or near the water this summer
6 people were winched to safety at Rocky Bay in Nohoval yesterday when they became trapped by the tide.
Coast Guard crews and Rescue helicopter 117 were tasked to the scene at around 4pm and the people were winched onboard the helicopter and taken to safety.
Meanwhile Courtmacsherry RNLI were called out to assist a surfer in difficulty off Garrylucas Beach yesterday afternoon just after 3:30pm.
The crew searched the water for 40 minutes before the operation was stood down.
The volunteer lifeboat crew were also called to assist a swimmer in Broadstrand on Friday, and four people in difficulty off Garrettstown Strand on Saturday.
The swimmers were rescued by nearby surfers as the lifeboat reached the area.
Elsewhere, Ballycotton RNLI were tasked with assisting a fishing vessel with engine failure off Flat Head, south of Cork Harbour yesterday.
Another small pleasure boat with two people on board was also towed into Cobh by the same crew shortly afterwards.
