Solent Coastguard received multiple reports from members of public that two swimmers had got into difficulty at sea and were stranded on rocks.
Exmouth ILB tried to veer in but due to complex conditions it was decided to put a crew ashore and standby for the helicopter attendance.

Exmouth Coastguards stood by for immediate water rescue, whilst remaining Exmouth members and Beer Coastguard set up a Helicopter Landing Site (HLS) with first aid assistance.
