00:00Four friends were trapped by a rising tide at a California beach.
00:04Only three made it out.
00:0524-year-old Sina Park remains missing after the incident at Panther State Beach in Santa Cruz County on November
00:128.
00:13The group had entered a narrow coastal passage, known as the Keyhole, when rising water cut off their escape route.
00:20Authorities believe Park was swept into the Pacific Ocean.
00:23The Coast Guard coordinated an extensive search covering approximately 95 square miles,
00:28using boats, helicopters, and drones.
00:31But after around eight hours of searching, active Coast Guard operations were suspended.
00:36The incident highlights a serious coastal danger.
00:39Rising tides can quickly flood narrow beach passages,
00:43while powerful waves and strong currents can make escape extremely difficult.
00:47Officials urge visitors to check tide conditions and avoid confined coastal areas when water levels are rising.
00:54And if someone is swept into the ocean, call emergency services.
00:57Never attempt a dangerous water rescue yourself.
