There has been a second cliff collapse at Mawgan Porth Beach in Cornwall

People are being warned to keep away from cliffs at a popular Cornish beach after they collapsed for a second time in as many weeks.

Newquay Coastguard said the cliff collapsed near the cave on the north side of Mawgan Porth Beach on Wednesday.

The incident follows another collapse in the same area on New Year's Day.

The rescue team said the area remained hazardous and urged people to keep a safe distance away from the cliff face.

"There has been another sizeable section of cliff collapse by the cave on the north side of Mawgan Porth Beach overnight," they said.

"The public are reminded that this area remains hazardous and to maintain a safe distance."
