FIVE MEN HAVE died after being pulled from the water at Camber Sands in Kent near Rye, East Sussex.
A sixth person is thought to be missing after the tragedy.
All five men, despite efforts to save them, died at the scene yesterday.
Sussex Police believe the men were all in their late teens and early 20s and came from the Greater London area.
They had gone to the beach together on what was the hottest day of the year in England so far.
Chief Superintendent Di Roskilly said: “These men were not fully-clothed when they were pulled from the sea but wearing clothes appropriate for being at the beach for the day.
This has been an incredibly tragic incident and we are offering their next of kin support at this difficult time and our thoughts are with them.
Emergency services were called to the beach at 2.10pm yesterday to reports of a person in the sea.
While they were at the scene, another person was seen in difficulty at 2.20pm and 15 minutes later a third person was rescued. The bodies of a further two men were found in the water between 8.15pm and 8.45pm.

Didn’t get far into the article before I got the general gist. Doxxing is perfectly acceptable to one side and not the other…guess which side.
@Briscoe Sundara: It is inconceivable that whoever wrote that dross cannot see how bad it is. There’s a paragraph there near the start that try’s to justify Far Left Vs Far Right Doxxing….. Ultimately it says……..
Far Left Doxxing….. Gooooood, because they’re harassing people on the far right….!!!
Far Right Doxxing….. Baaad… because they’re harassing people on the far left….!!!
Can we not all agree…. that you’ll all nuts…. The Nazi’s\racists on the far right and the loons on the far left like the author.
You would need a Pint after reading that carry on.
@Gerard: well this is awkward, didn’t really take long to find one Irish account. https://mobile.twitter.com/antifa_drone
@An Breasláin Nua: where, specifically, are the people on the left approving of doxxing in any significant number?
On the other hand, the far right approval is right here…
My comment linking an example of an Irish far left account openly doxxing people on Twitter was removed… The bias here is very concerning.
I think the cut and paste nature of right wing politics from the UK is the main reason it remains on the fringes here. It is extremely sympathetic to imperialism and loyalism, a deal breaker as this is at odds with the views of the vast majority of Irish people who would otherwise agree with others elements e.g. anti abortion.
“the far-right in Ireland is effectively a “copy and paste” groups in the US and Europe. ”
Very well described! It’s so pathetic how many of them don’t even understand the very basics of Irish politics.
One of their favourite mantras when they found themselves with a brown taoiseach was to claim he was “unelected” because they could only equate leadership with american style presidential contests.
The liberal consensus is creating opposition which it has labelled ‘Far – Right’.
The leaders might be opportunists looking for a cause and they are finding support from men who are reacting to being vilified, shouted down and discriminated against.
However the ‘liberal consensus is also well populated by opportunists and as they say “it takes one to know one”.
There is an economic concept, called the law of diminishing returns in play here. When you have got more than you ever asked for don’t start coming up with new “asks” and historical grievances as supporting facts.
The Catholic Church might have been a focal point for earlier generations but it doesn’t have the moral authority that it used to.
This was meant to be a response to Ned Gerblansky’s post above.
