A pair of tourists have drowned after getting caught in a rip at a beach known for its treacherous waters.

Emergency services received reports of three adults in distress in the water at Conspicuous Cliff beach near Walpole, southwest Western Australia, about 2.40pm on Saturday.

Police arrived at the scene to find the trio had been recovered from the surf and started performing CPR.

A 44-year-old man and 40-year-old woman died at the scene while a second man, 42, was able to be revived and rushed to hospital.

Police believe the trio are known to each other and had travelled to the beach, which is not patrolled by lifesavers, from Perth.

A report will be prepared for the coroner.

The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions warns the stretch of coastline including Conspicuous Cliff beach ‘can be hazardous’.

The area is known to experience ‘large, unpredictable waves and swells, slippery rocks and strong currents’.
