Cover on some beaches has already ended for the season, with daily RNLI patrols set to end on others on September 28. <\/p>\n
Rescues made in past few days include a woman holidaymaker who got trapped on a ledge by the high spring tide opposite Towan Island, Newquay, Cornwall, and a 31-year-old man who was looking at ancient tin mines plunged 30ft from cliffs at Chapel Porth, also in Cornwall. <\/p>\n
RNLI rescuers say he's lucky to have fallen on to sand rather than rocks, and they found him just in time - he was lying in a cave with a broken ankle as the tide flooded in.. <\/p>\n
At Polzeath, Cornwall, a regular destination of David Cameron, lifeguards recently had to rescue more than thirty people in just one day. <\/p>\n
They are urging people to take extra care, because the unpredictable currents - a legacy of the winter storms - can carry people quickly out to sea. <\/p>\n
Cornwall RNLI spokesman Steve Instance warned today \"Local people and regular holidaymakers - your beach won't be the same as how you knew it. <\/p>\n
\"It's worth taking a bit of time to look around and to notice what the tide covers up. <\/p>\n
\"When you go and visit your beach at high tide you don't know what's beneath the surface of the water. <\/p>\n
\"We're seeing evidence on a number of beaches of more sand coming in - the storms we saw this winter were the worse we've seen in living memory. <\/p>\n
\"So the damage they caused will take a long, long time to repair and to return our beaches to how we knew them.\" <\/p>\n
