MINEHEAD RNLI helped rescue two stranded people in the early hours.
Both Minehead Lifeboats launched at 2am on Thursday to a report of two people cut off by the tide near Kilve.
With the aid of local coastguards, the two were located by Minehead's Atlantic 85 just west of Lilstock Tower.
A spokesman for Minehead RNLI said: "A swimmer was sent ashore and confirmed they were ok to wait for the arrival of Minehead's D class lifeboat.
"Both persons were then taken off the beach by Minehead's D class and transferred to the Atlantic 85 who then ferried them safely back to Watchet Marina to waiting coastguards. Both Burnham Lifeboats also tasked."
