A Criccieth Lifeboat statement yesterday (Saturday) said: "This afternoon (21.06.25), volunteer Crewmembers from Criccieth's RNLI Lifeboat Station responded to two calls in one hour, resulting in two lives being saved. "Both incidents involved people being unaware of rising tides. The first call, at 3pm involved a party of four and one dog stranded on a sandbank near Black Rock Sands. "Two of the party managed to swim ashore and raise the alarm via a gwynedd -council> Gwynedd Council Beach Warden, who was also an off-duty Criccieth Lifeboat Crewmember. "The Station quickly launched its Inshore Rescue Boat, Margaret a Nantw, from the slipway in Porthmadog and were promptly on-scene.
