Scarborough RNLI had two call-outs over the weekend, including a rescue in high winds near Filey Brigg.
On Saturday afternoon, the all-weather lifeboat was asked to help rescue someone who had been cut off by the tide, just north of Filey Brigg.
The lifeboat, with a crew of six, stood by, close to shore, in a moderate to rough sea and a force-8 south-easterly wind. The casualty was winched to safety by the coastguard helicopter.
Scarborough RNLI advises everyone using the coast for recreational or other purposes to check the times of high and low tides either online or via the tide timetable available at the lifeboat shop.
At 4.30am on Sunday, the inshore lifeboat launched to look for a person reported to be in the sea.
The crew of three searched the area between the lifeboat house and Aquarium Top.
Conditions were challenging with a southerly force-5 wind and high waves, which made the search quite difficult.
The lifeboat was stood down when the person was located by the coastguards.
It returned to station and was ready for its next callout by 6am.
The RNLI say, if you see anyone injured or in distress on the coast, dial 999 and ask for the coastguard.
