Staithes and Runswick RNLI lifeboat volunteer crew were paged just before 5pm on Saturday to two people cut off by tide at a point near Sandsend Ness.
It's the second call out for the station in a month to a tidal cut off.
Two people were cut off by the incoming tide at Deepgrove Wyke, around one mile from Sandsend.
Whitby RNLI were also tasked, launching with their Shannon Class all weather lifeboat 13-49 Lois Ivan.
Two Coastguard officers were with the casualties on the shore, who weren’t in any immediate danger. Staithes and Runswick RNLI's Atlantic B Class lifeboat B-897 Sheila and Dennis Tongue III was unable to get close enough to extract the casualties safely, owing to the rocky foreshore. Both lifeboats stood by whilst HM Coastguard's search and rescue helicopter, which was also tasked to the incident, landed and recovered the two casualties and accompanying Coastguard officers from the shore.
Both lifeboats returned to their stations and were rehoused and made ready for service.
The RNLI issued the following advice:
'If you're walking or fishing on the coast, always check tide times. Rising tides can quickly block your way back, especially around rocky outcrops. In bad weather, the tide may come in faster than predicted due to strong winds and low-pressure systems, increasing the risk of tidal cut off.
Check tide tables, apps, weather forecasts, or local news to stay informed. If you become cut off by the tide or feel at risk, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.'
