Crews from the Falmouth RNLI had a busy bank holiday weekend, responding to five shouts in four days.
The first call came shortly before 2.30pm on Friday, when the Falmouth RNLI inshore lifeboat was paged to assist with the extraction of two people cut off by the tide near Maenporth Beach.
The second shout followed the next day at 3.05pm, with a request from Falmouth Coastguard to attend the Helford River.
Falmouth Coastguard Rescue Team, Porthoustock Coastguard Rescue Team and HM Coastguard helicopter R924 from Newquay Airport were also tasked to search for two people who had entered the water from their kayaks in poor weather.

The lifeboats launched at 3.55pm, arriving on scene within 15 minutes. One casualty had already been pulled from the water by a local ferry and was being handed over to the ambulance service for medical assistance. The second person remained missing.
Both lifeboats commenced a search of the river until coastguard teams confirmed the second casualty had been found safe and well ashore in Helford. The boats were released from service at 4pm, with the inshore lifeboat returning to station at 4.30pm.
With The Lizard lifeboat off service, Falmouth RNLI’s all‑weather Shannon‑class lifeboat was re‑tasked by HM Coastguard on its return to attend Kynance Cove, where three people had been cut off by the tide.
