Nick Ayers, an RNLI water safety officer, says the rescue service's biggest concern is the increasing use of inflatables at sea.
"Just don't do it - don't take them in the water at all," he said.
"We have interlocking sand bars where people can easily get cut off from the mainland and panic - or try to walk back or swim. They underestimate the sheer speed of the moving tide, especially at places like Ness Point in Suffolk."
Ness Point in Lowestoft is the UK's most easterly point.
