Lyme Regis lifeboat crew was launched on Sunday afternoon to five people and a dog cut off by the tide, near West Bay.

The volunteer crew were launched at 4.45pm following reports of a group of walkers cut off by the tide east of West Bay, towards Freshwater beach.

The crew conducted a shoreline search, located the group and guided the local coastguard team to their position where the group were advised about the tide times.

The lifeboat volunteers returned to Lyme Regis harbour at 6.15pm.
