Police were also called because the family had breached Covid rules by travelling there, the coastguard said.

A spokesperson from Staithes Coastguard said: "Safety advice was given from Coastguard rescue officers due to the dangerous location of their tent, especially with recent landslips.

"If walking the Cleveland Way please stay on designated footpaths."

A total of 192 fixed penalty notices for breaches of Covid regulations were issued, with 67 of them being issued in Scarborough alone, North Yorkshire Police said.

Ch Insp Charlotte Bloxham told North Yorkshire's Local Resilience Forum: “It is really important we don’t get too far ahead of ourselves at the moment and through irresponsible actions jeopardise the progress we have been making."

She added that the current lockdown restrictions will remain in place until 29 March "and we will continue to police them and take enforcement action against any breaches".

Meanwhile, Scarborough’s coronavirus infection rate remains the lowest in North Yorkshire following another slight drop overnight, latest figures show.

A total of 39 motorists were arrested on suspicion of drink-driving during the first month of the current lockdown, with 51 motorists arrested in connection with drug-driving offences in the same period, police say.

Following the arrests, senior police and fire officers have issued a joint warning that "those who drink at home are just as likely to kill someone if they get behind the wheel".

Supt Emma Aldred said: “I am truly shocked and astounded at the number of people found to be under the influence of alcohol despite pubs and bars being closed to drinkers.

“This is a stark reminder that having a few alcoholic drinks at home could lead you to still being over the limit the following morning and being unfit to drive.

“Drinking at home can mean you easily lose track of how much you have had," she added.

Group Manager Dave Winspear, from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: “Every year, we as a fire service see the consequences of drink-driving at incidents we attend.

“Please don’t be tempted to have a few drinks at home and then get behind the wheel, and remember that you can still be over the limit the following morning.”
