A spokesperson for Mullion Coastguard Rescue Team said:

"We were asked to head to Fishing Cove, Gunwalloe where we deployed two search teams - one on the beach and one on the coastal path - to search towards Porthleven.

"After 40 minutes of searching new information was received indicating she wasn't in the area and we were stood down. Many thanks also to Penlee Lifeboat for their shoreline search."

The police have been contacted to find out if the female was located safely.
