A warning has gone out to people using Looe’s Second Beach after a landslip.

The steps to the beach were closed on Wednesday after coastguards assessed the situation as unsafe.

But a prompt visit from a Cornwall Council engineer meant the entrance could be re-opened the following day, said Brian Galipeau of the East Looe Town Trust, which manages the adjacent main beach.

The Second Beach is privately owned with a public right of way across it, and is popular with local dog walkers.

Mr Galipeau warned that sections of the cliff along this part of the coast were unstable – and that further cliff falls could restrict safe access.
