Reports of a woman missing at sea prompted a search by emergency services.
Lyme Regis’ RNLI lifeboat was launched just after 11.20pm last night, when Solent coastguards asked the volunteer crew to help in a search following reports of a missing woman.
The lifeboat crew were asked to carry out a shoreline search between Eype and West Bexington east of Lyme Regis.
Later the woman was found ashore by coastguards and the lifeboat crew returned to Lyme Regis three minutes after midnight.
