Two people were rescued from the refuge box on Holy Island Causeway after their vehicles were cut off by the tide.
The Seahouses Inshore Lifeboat was launched at around 4.25pm on Tuesday after reports of two cars being cut off by the tide.
On arrival at the causeway, the Inshore Lifeboat found two people in the Refuge Box, and transported them to the mainland, where they were handed into the care of local coastguards.

The Inshore Lifeboat then returned to the Refuge Box, and transported two coastguard officers back to Holy Island, who had waded out to assist the casualties.
Two other people had managed to wade back to Holy Island unaided, where they were met by the local Coastguard Rescue Team.
The RNLI Water Safety Team are continuing to promote and re-examining further options to encourage safe traffic use of the Holy Island Causeway, in an effort to reduce strandings, and are meeting to discuss further options in view of the latest incidents.
Seahouses Lifeboat Press Officer Ian Clayton said: “It is so disappointing that these incidents are continuing, despite all of the publicity, from the Coastguard and the RNLI.
"We can only remind visitors to Holy Island to please check the safe crossing times before attempting to cross the Causeway. Do not attempt to cross if the tide is flowing over the roadway.”
