A Texas family is hoping for a miracle after twin 13-year-old boys vanished on Sunday in chest-deep water at the beach, where they were wading despite being unable to swim.

Josue and Jefferson Perez had travelled from their Houston home for a day at the beach in Galveston.

The boys were last seen around 4:30pm on Sunday playing in the water near the Pleasure Pier, around 20 yards from the shore. 

Rip currents around the pier can be strong, officials said, and the sea temperature was a chilly 67F. 

No one in the family saw them go underwater, but after they went missing the relatives raised the alarm.
