Volunteers with Morecambe Bay RNLI launched the inshore lifeboat at the weekend to reports of people trapped by the tide.
The inshore lifeboat was launched just before 11am on Saturday after people were reported to have been cut off by the tide in the Red Bank Farm area, off Bolton le Sands.
Battling rough seas and winds of more than 28 knots, the lifeboat made its way to the scene, where local Coastguard rescue teams were also attending.
