The woman had been taking photographs around the lighthouse and had not noticed the tide was coming in.

The Fire and Rescue Service’s inshore rescue boat and the RNLI’s St Helier inshore lifeboat both responded to the incident after the Coastguard received a number of 999 calls from members of the public at around 2.40 pm and the woman, who was stranded on rocks between the lighthouse and the shore, was reportedly waving for help.

After being rescued by the Fire and Rescue Service boat, which had been launched at St Brelade’s Bay, the woman was found to be unhurt but cold and she was then handed over to the RNLI boat and taken back to St Helier.
