Around 6:30 p.m. fire and rescue crews responded to the beach in front of Turnaround on reports a young girl had been pulled into the ocean.
Emergency responders had jet skis in the water, a swimmer and multiple others participating in the search.
A little while later, the Coast Guard also aided by launching a helicopter and a boat.
Almost 20 minutes after the initial response, officials said crews found the girl after she had been “pulled out beyond the breakers and pushed back into the surf.”
“It was quite a fast, efficient activation of partners & a really good outcome for such a serious rescue effort,” a spokesperson for the City of Seaside said.
The spokesperson added the girl was taken to a hospital by ambulance “conscious and alert.”
