A mother and daughter were rescued from sinking sand at a Southend lagoon after the tide rose, prompting a closure and safety review.
A mother and daughter were rescued from waist-deep wet sand at Three Shells Lagoon in Southend, Essex, on March 10 as the tide rose.
CCTV showed the girl sinking while playing, prompting her mother to rush in and also become trapped.
Four Adventure Island staff and a passing truck driver used ropes to pull them to safety.
The sand, placed by Southend-on-Sea City Council, posed a hazard due to its instability.
The lagoon, opened in 2016, has faced ongoing maintenance issues, including foul odors and debris.
The council has since installed fencing and warning signs, closed the area, and is conducting safety assessments.
No injuries were reported, and the lagoon remains closed pending further evaluation.
