She was confirmed to be stable enough for transport and was carefully moved into an ambulance for further treatment and checks.
Due to the ambulance being positioned on the promenade, Coastguard personnel then escorted it to Point House to ensure a safe route off the seafront.
Once the ambulance had left the scene and no further assistance was required, the Coastguard team was stood down and returned to station.
A spokesperson for Southbourne Coastguard said: “If you see someone unresponsive or in difficulty along the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.”
