Tonight, an Essex Police spokesman said: "Thank you to everyone who shared our earlier appeal relating to the concern for safety of a woman who had entered the water in Frinton-on-sea.
The police response has been stood down following information that the two women had found each other and were safe and well.
"We received multiple calls from members of the public and we’re really grateful for your support."
