    A woman's been rescued from the incoming tide at Exmouth.

    She'd been walking at the eastern end of the beach near Orcombe Point on Tuesday morning.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

    Exmouth's RNLI reached the scene, between Orcombe and Rodney Points, quickly.

    The woman was taken onboard the inshore lifeboat and back to the lifeboat station where she was seen by the coastguard rescue team. She was not injured and didn't needmedical treatment.
