Overview

• Tonnes of rock fell from Golden Cap on Friday, with video showing debris cascading and a dust cloud over the beach.
• Lyme Regis Coastguard says more material is likely to fall and urges visitors to keep well clear of cliff edges and bases.
• The fall has left debris that will cut off the beach faster on the tide, and there is no safe exit at the Golden Cap end.
• Coastguard teams from Lyme Regis and West Bay, together with the lifeboat station, examined the site and issued safety guidance.
• Dorset Council advises extra caution over the bank holiday, citing warm, dry weather that has increased instability along the Jurassic Coast.
