A spokesperson for Merseyside fire and rescue service said: “Two people were pulled to safety by firefighters wearing water gear using basket stretchers, whilst one managed to get themselves free.
“Please be aware that mud flats at the beach are treacherous and it is very easy to become stuck fast quickly and at serious risk from rising tides.
“As soon as sand underfoot becomes muddy and soft, return to firm ground immediately.”
