Hide AdA spokesman for the coastguard said: "We had a report of three people in the water by Central Pier.
"A member of the public contacted us after shouting at the girls from the beach to get out of the water.
"But it seems the people had got out of the water before our teams arrived on the scene.
"It's not advisable to go into the water at night time given the area.
"It could have led to very serious consequences."
Nobody is thought to have been injured during the incident.
