The Wirral Coastguard Rescue Team was called at 1.17am, following concerns for two females who were walking along the beach towards the lighthouse. A post on Wirral Coastguard Rescue Team's Facebook page read: "Coastguard Rescue Officers arrived on scene, located the two individuals and safely escorted them back off the beach. "Thank you to the first informant for raising the alarm. They did exactly the right thing. "If you ever see someone who appears to be in difficulty at the coast, dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard."
