Coastguard issues warning after cliff fall at North Devon beach

The coastguard has issued a warning to beachgoers following a cliff fall at a popular North Devon beach. The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon at Barricane Beach near Woolacombe.

According to reports, a section of the cliff collapsed, causing rocks and debris to fall onto the beach below. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident, but it serves as a reminder of the dangers posed by unstable cliffs along the coastline.

The coastguard is advising visitors to be cautious when walking near cliffs and to avoid standing directly beneath them. They have also urged beachgoers to stay away from any areas that have been cordoned off due to the risk of further cliff falls.

Local authorities are working to assess the stability of the cliffs and take necessary precautions to ensure the safety of beach users. In the meantime, the coastguard is reminding the public to stay vigilant and heed any warnings or advice given by authorities.

As the summer season approaches and more people head to the coast, it is important to be aware of the potential risks and take necessary precautions to stay safe. By staying informed and following the advice of authorities, beachgoers can enjoy the beauty of North Devon’s coastline while minimizing the risk of accidents.
