Stay away from unstable cliffs on the coast

THE need for caution when out on the Heritage Coast was demonstrated after another large cliff fall took place after recent storms.

The cliff fall happened between Tresillian Bay and St Donat’s Bay. A spokesperson for the National Coastwatch Institution, St Donat’s Bay said: “This shows just how dangerous the cliffs along this section can be and how far a fall can go at the base of the cliffs.

“Please be careful when walking along the shoreline and coastal path.”

Cliff dangers at the beach

Cliffs can be more unstable than they look, cliff falls or landslides happen without warning.
Reduce the risks:

Take note of warning signs:

  • If you are on the beach, keep clear of the base of cliffs
  • Stay well back from cliff edges
  • Never climb a cliff as a shortcut to the top
