Three tourists become trapped on an isolated beach in Oregon while trying to get a “dramatic” photo as the tide rises, local authorities report. The group is located in a Tillamook County cove known as Lost Boy Beach. As the tide increases, they wait for help on the remaining dry area.
According to authorities, the tourists spell “SOS” on the shore using sticks. A drone is flown over the location to assess the situation, and rescuers find the three people still stranded. Fox News and the New York Post both describe drone footage showing the “SOS” message and the tourists awaiting rescue as the tide prevents an easy exit.
The outlets focus on different parts of the incident: the New York Post emphasizes the tourists’ attempt to stage a photo and the discovery process, while Fox News highlights the incoming tide and the drone imagery. Both accounts agree that the tourists are located by drone and rescued after the rising water traps them.
