A police spokesperson said they were called to Marine Road near the Midland Hotel/Aldi supermarket area at 10.10am on Saturday.

"A lady walking her dog on the beach had a medical episode," he said.

"The tide coming in rapidly meant she had to be taken to safety from the water by passing members of the public.
