Two paddle boarders got into difficulty at Cayton Bay on Saturday.
With a strong westerly wind, they were drifting away from the shore.
A third paddle boarder called the alarm by ringing the coastguards on 999.
The Scarborough Inshore Lifeboat launched at about 11.30am and found that the casualties had managed to get back to the beach.
The lifeboat’s crew of three checked them to make sure they were okay then took them, with their boards, further down the shoreline to the coastguards.
Scarborough RNLI advises that paddle boarders, surfers, swimmers, etc, should make sure they are aware of prevailing weather conditions before entering the sea.
