A spokesperson from Rhyl RNLI said: "The units searched the area until coastguards informed all that the person was found safe ashore.

"All units were stood down at 7am, the inshore lifeboat returning to station at 7.10am."

Earlier this month crews were also called to search for a reported person in the water off the west end of Rhyl.

Coastguards and police located the person, who had been in the sea.
