TWO people had to be assisted by a coastguard rescue team after their car broke down on the beach at Point Clear.
Clacton Coastguard Rescue Team was sent to the scene after the people in the car called 999 at around midday on Friday.
The tide was rising quickly and they were concerned about becoming stranded.
When the team arrived on scene they recovered the car and passengers to safety and restarted the car.
