A young girl who went missing on a beach was found after a search by the coastguard, police and the RNLI. 

Swanage Coastguard, Dorset Police and Swanage RNLI was tasked to Ocean Bay to search for a missing 5-year-old girl this morning.

The young girl was last seen near the waters edge so a call was made on 999.

Coastguards arrived and started an immediate search locating the child with a member of the public who found the girl further up the beach.

The coastguard have asked visitors to beaches to keep a close eye on children when at the beach.
