I've seen fishermen get stranded on rocks because they did not keep track of the tides. They either had to jump in and swim (very dangerous around rocks like that) or wait 12 hours for the tide to drop. They chose swimming. Thankfully no one was harmed, but it was really hairy for a bit.
Tide charts are your friend when visiting the beach and ocean.
