A kayaker has been rescued after capsizing just off the Little Orme.

The Llandudno Coastguard and RNLI crews were called at about 4.40pm yesterday to reports a man had entered the water after his kayak overturned and was unable to get back in.

A Llandudno Coastguard spokesperson, in a statement, said: "Llandudno Lifeboat RNLI were immediately tasked whilst we made our way to Angel Bay where we had a good vantage point.

"Llandudno Lifeboat located the casualty off Penrhyn Bay and recovered him and his kayak back to the RNLI Boathouse where he was met by us.

"He was warmed up in the boathouse and assessed by the team where it was decided medical attention was not required."

After it was decided the medical attention was not required the casualty went home and the two teams were stood down.

This is the second incident involving kayakers in as many days after two went missing from a large group off Colwyn Bay on Sunday.

A search was started with us on land, and Llandudno Lifeboat by sea. Rescue 936 also assist.

The pair were located by the RNLI off Llanddulas, were recovered by the lifeboat and reunited with the rest of group.
