A warning has gone out to beach-goers in west Cornwall about the dangers of a large tidal range.

Lifeguards are urging people not to enter the Hayle Estuary on Monday because of an increasing swell.

There has been an increase in the number of people parking near the river where there is no lifeguard cover.

People are urged to swim and bodyboard between the red and yellow flags on the main beach instead.

It comes just 10 days after a warning went out about a deep hole causing a rip current in the Hayle area too.
