A young woman has narrowly escaped a dangerous situation after a casual walk on a well-known Aussie beach went horribly wrong.

A young woman narrowly escaped a dangerous situation on a beach in Adelaide last month after she became stuck in a narrow pit of quicksand.

While walking along Glenelg Beach on May 19, Adelaide woman Madz June became stuck in a pit of sand after she hopped down from a rocky outcrop.

Speaking to various media outlets on Monday, Ms June said she fell “straight through the sand” as she hopped down from the rocks, and initially found the situation “hilarious”.

“I asked my friend to Google what to do, and it said to try and move my foot around … it wouldn’t budge,” she said.

“My foot was really trapped, it actually felt like it was in a vacuum-sealed bag.”

After about 15 minutes of struggling, Ms June realised the sand was coming up to her waist and she wasn’t going to get out by herself.

Luckily, her friend was able to phone emergency services and within an hour she was extracted from the sludge.

“My main concern was if it was an elderly person or a young child that had been in that situation, they may not have been able to get themselves out,” she said.

“Gratefully, I had a friend and I had a phone with me so I was able to get out of the situation, whereas other people may not be in such good luck.”
