She said: "Me and my boyfriend found it on the rocks near the water.

It was definitely alive as it was changing colours.

"We found a plank and pushed it back in the water carefully and watch it swim out to a shallow-ish rock and grip onto it.

"We were so shocked. It was a decent size too.

"I put it back in water but it didn’t really move much, hopefully it didn’t stay near the beach."
