Beachgoers narrowly survive freak cliff collapse, landslip that dumped boulders the size of cars

Beachgoers on the southern coast of England narrowly avoided tragedy when a cliff overlooking the West Bay beach collapsed, dumping tons of rock and boulders the size of cars onto the sand.

A spokesperson for the council told British outlet ITV that “Solent coastguard have made us aware of this landslip,” and that West Bay coastguard personnel had cordoned off the area, which they expect to remain in place for six months. “The Jurassic Coast is a wonderful place to visit, but it’s important to use common sense and caution – stay away from the edge and base of cliffs, and always pay attention to warning signs, safety messages and the tides,” the spokesperson said.

Dorset Live reported that another collapse had happened in the same area earlier this year on May 21 likely due to torrential rains over the preceding weekend.
