A SECTION of a busy Newquay beach has been cordoned off following a cliff collapse.

Cornwall Council has installed fencing at Great Western Beach to keep people away from the area.

Inspections are being carried out to ensure the beach remains safe for beachgoers.

A council spokesperson said: “A cordon remains in place on a section of Great Western Beach following a cliff fall.

“Our team is actively monitoring the site and working with partners to ensure the area remains safe for beachgoers.

“If you’re visiting the beach, please stay well away from the safety barrier we’ve put in place.”
