A family with two children had to be rescued by lifeboat crews after getting cut off by the tide in the third similar incident since the easing of lockdown.
The rescue comes amid the RNLI warning of the dangers of people getting stranded amid spring high tides.
The latest incident saw the UK Coastguard call for the launch of the Hunstanton RNLI Lifeboat at 5.50pm on Wednesday, March 31 after receiving reports of people being cut off by the rising tide at Scolt Head Island at Brancaster in north Norfolk.
Four people, including two children, were located and were taken on board the lifeboat and landed on the beach into the care of the local coastguard response team.
