Whitby RNLI's inshore lifeboat was launched yesterday when three people were cut off by the tide near Robin Hood's Bay.
Whitby Coastguard who were also in attendance managed to safely rescue the stranded walkers by assisting them up the cliff using their specialist equipment and training.
The Whitby RNLI crew remained on standby until the casualties were all safely rescued.
Crew member Ally Brisby said:
'It is important to always check the tide times when walking on the beach, especially below cliffs where it is difficult to exit the beach safely. Always allow plenty of time as the tide can come in a lot quicker than expected, even the most experienced walkers can get caught out.'
The RNLI also recommend carrying a means of calling for help when walking near the sea, if you do see someone in trouble dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
