We're being told to stay away from part of Great Western Beach in Newquay after a cliff fall this morning.

A section of the beach is currently cordoned off, and inspections are being carried out to make the area safe.

In a statement, Cornwall Council says, "A cordon remains in place on a section of Great Western Beach following a cliff fall that happened over the weekend.

"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."
