Tenby RNLI were paged with a request to launch at 1 pm on Sunday after an 11-year-old boy went missing whilst surfing on Rhosili Beach.

As the all-weather lifeboat was preparing to launch, the coastguard received confirmation that the boy had been found safe and well ashore. The lifeboat was stood down.

Burry Port and Horton and Port Eynon inshore lifeboats were also asked to launch.
