A man was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard on Sunday morning after becoming stranded on a beach near Daly City.
The man, 24, contacted the Coast Guard at about 4:30 a.m. Sunday after becoming hemmed in by cliffs while walking along Mussel Rock Park Beach, according to Petty Officer Taylor Bacon, a Coast Guard spokesman. The San Mateo County Fire Department was initially tasked with trying to rescue the man; however, the firefighters were rebuffed when they had difficulty navigating the cliffside to get to him, Bacon said.
The Coast Guard then dispatched an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter to the beach at about 6 a.m., Bacon said. A crew member was lowered down to the beach and helped hoist the man back up to the aircraft, which took him to San Francisco International Airport.
