Ventnor Coastguard Rescue Team, Needles Coastguard Rescue Team and Ryde Inshore Rescue were tasked to conduct a search of Ryde Beach during the early hours of this morning (Tuesday).
Solent Coastguard mobilised the search and rescue assets at 00:48 amid fears a missing woman may have been located at the seaside.
A search was commenced but after a short while, further information was received to suggest the individual was safe and well elsewhere.
The emergency teams were stood down by 02:00.
If you or someone else is in difficulty on the coast or at sea, or if you spot what you think may be unexploded ordnance, then dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard. Further safety information can be found at https://coastguardsafety.campaign.gov.uk/.
