Woman thought to be in water off Dawlish

Exmouth and Teignmouth's inshore lifeboats, joined by Emouth's larger 'Shannon-class' ocean-going vessel, scrambled on Sunday afternoon on news that a woman may have gone into the sea off Dawlish beach.

The search, involving Teignmouth's RNLI, Torbay and Teignmouth coastguards, Dawlish beach RNLI lifeguards and police, began at 1.50pm.

Both lifeboats were stood down half an hour later when the woman was found in a park.
