Three people rescued after being 'blown out to sea' on inflatables

TWO teenagers on an inflatable mattress and a female on an inflatable crocodile had to be rescued on Monday after being “blown out to sea” off Ayr Beach.

Local lifeboats and coastal rescue teams were scrambled shortly after 5pm following reports the two teenagers were in difficulty.

After being rescued, the pair were brought back to shore and “given safety advice” by the coastguard.

Shortly afterwards, on the same beach, a female on an inflatable crocodile had to be rescued by members of the public after being swept away from the shore.

A coastguard spokesperson confirmed that all three are “safe and well”.

“They stayed within their inflatables, but they were being blown out to sea,” the spokesperson added.
