The casualty had been walking from Whitby to Saltwick Nab and back on May 11 when they became cut off by the incoming tide, with the steep cliff face offering no alternative route off the beach.
The inshore lifeboat was launched at around 6.45pm and quickly reached the casualty who was safely transferred to the lifeboat.

Helm on the inshore lifeboat, Leah Hunter, said of the rescue: “Even the most experienced walkers can get cut off by the tide.
"We see it often in this location.
"We would urge anyone walking below cliffs to check the tide times and allow plenty of time to exit the beach before the tide comes in.”
