Riptide i would have thought respect the sea it can turn evil.
Rips a possibility but would have thought life guards would be out ASAP should alarm go up. I doubt for one minute it's the daft immigrant angle and if so very tragic but fascinated to know what caused this. Whatever, very sad for all concerned.
The seven previously drowned this weekend was down to severe seas during a summer storm, with people going near visibly dangerous conditions.
The storm however has passed and today's 5 deaths were in calm seas, moreover the firsth three were pulled from the sea by bystanders not professional rescue people.
It also appears they were all men. Not children, not people trying to save someone from drowning etc.
Another thing I have seen reported is that the first three were all treated for heart failure not drowning.
Something odd that five men all die at the same beach in good conditions within minutes of each other.

Not sure if it's connected at all but we were in Cornwall until yesterday and on Monday noticed hundreds of Chrysaora hyoscella jelly fish (the ones with brown spots) swimming around. We got out the water straight away as they're nasty little things. My wife even found one washed up on the beach so we buried it before anyone got stung.
I have no idea how you could even drown at Camber Sands unless you are way, way out. That beach is super flat and really slow at dropping down to being deep. Perhaps these guys had nasty reactions to jellyfish stings or got caught when the tide comes in which is quite fast at Camber.

Any links to that, sounds very,very odd.The storm however has passed and today's 5 deaths were in calm seas, moreover the firsth three were pulled from the sea by bystanders not professional rescue people.

According to some reports the 5 were all young males,fully dressed and of Asian appearance.
Right, I've visited the websites of the BBC, Sky News and various traditional national and local media outlets and seen no mention of this whatsoever. One thing that has been remarkable about this story so far has been the little confirmed detail and the large amount of hearsay purporting as fact. Is there any substance to these multiple sources you report? What are these multiple reports?What is being suggested here?
The whole event is quite peculiar.
An aside. Reading so many news sources on this story it is even more evident how widespread plagiarism is these days and how few primary sources are involved. So sad how far journalism has sunk.

Safest beach for kids that I know of.........how 5, possibly 6, male adults drown on it is beyond me. I don't recall strong rips but never went too close to the beach because of how shallow the slope was and the sand bars.scenario8 said:

Who knows?
What an odd incident. Camber Sands is such a "safe" beach.

My guess is they are would be immigrants trying to swim ashore from a boat.
Stop reading the Daily Mail!Don't tell people what to do, why not give us your perspective on the situation...
5 - all men, all clothed, all dead.
Yeah, got to be jellyfish stings, eh?
With loads of other people still swimming in the sea?
Where were their relatives on the beach in panic for their loved ones?
Perhaps it was a group of five guys who decided to take a dip because of the heat and forgot their cossies?
As said, forget the Wail, it says nothing of the sort, what do you think?

'...at this stage we do not know who the men are and are doing all we can to establish their identities.’
I remember my parents taking me there when I was a kid and I was in the water and the tide came in so fast that it took me off the seabed and I had a real struggle to get to the shore, some older kid helped me ashore. I imagine, some people may have got caught out like this perhaps? V.sad :-(
