The pair had made their way to a refuge box before a crew arrived
Two French tourists had to be rescued after getting stuck in the rising tide at Holy Island Causeway.
Seahouses lifeboat station crews were called to rescue the pair from a refuge box after their car was cut off just before 16:00 BST on Wednesday.
The RNLI said the tourists may have "failed to appreciate or understand the warning notices".
Earlier this month, a couple were rescued after trying to cross in high tide.
