The pair got stuck on Sunday afternoon off Jetty Road, Warden Bay, Sheppey, in clay and mud deposits well-known by locals.
Couple pulled from mud
Couple fined
Ironically, the area is made of what is formally called London Clay - geological deposits popular with fossil hunters.
In bitterly cold conditions crews worked to free the 23-year-old woman and 30-year-old man who had travelled to the location to go for a walk.
They were checked over by medical teams before both being fined for breaching Covid regulations.
