Christmas Day Rescue at Birling Gap

Birling Gap Coastguard teams were scrambled on Christmas morning to respond to an incident at the cliffs. This latest mission was no ordinary callout—it marked their 200th rescue operation of 2022.

Always Ready, Always Alert

The coastguard service operates around the clock, 24/7, every single day of the year. Their dedication never takes a holiday, especially in treacherous coastal spots like Birling Gap.

Stay Safe and Check Tide Times

With the coastline posing serious risks, the coastguard urges the public to stay vigilant and always check tide times before venturing out. You can monitor Sussex tide times on their official coast page to avoid getting caught in dangerous situations.
