Overview
- Rhosneigr Coastguard Rescue Team, which was tasked Saturday evening by Holyhead MRCC after a public report, found 20 people camping in a small cove south of Porth Trecastell/Cable Bay.
- The incoming tide had nearly reached the group’s only route out, creating a clear risk of them being cut off.
- After officers explained the risk under an amber Met Office warning, the group left the cove with no injuries.
- The callout unfolded during Storm Dave, which drove gale-force winds across north Wales, including a 93 mph gust recorded at Capel Curig.
- Small coastal coves often have a single path that floods at high tide, so officials urge people to check tide times and call 999 for the Coastguard in an emergency.
