Saturday saw another busy day for the volunteers of Llandudno Coastal Rescue Team.
Their first call out of the day was to Angel Bay and reports of two kayakers in difficulties off the Little Orme. Both kayakers made their way safely to shore before the team's arrival.
A spokesperson said: "We were called twice to West Shore, once for a person in difficulty on a paddleboard and once for some people on the sandbanks as the tide was coming in. We spoke to various groups of people and gave them safety advice regarding local tide and weather conditions.
"On both occasions our colleagues at Conwy Lifeboat performed an offshore check of the area to ensure that there were no other people in danger. Many thanks to our friends at National Coastwatch Institute who reported and monitored one of these incidents.
"Our final call of the day was to Barkby Beach Prestatyn where we assisted Rhyl Coastguard Rescue and RNLI Rhyl to evacuate a casualty with a dislocated knee."
Wherever you are around the coast, whatever the time or weather, if you are aware of anyone in any distress or danger call 999, ask for the Coastguard.
