Danger Near Cliff Edge as Visitors Risk Lives for Photos at Cuckmere Haven

Local fisherman, known as The Chunky Puffin, spotted thrill-seekers climbing perilously close to the cliff edge at Cuckmere Haven – all for a quick snap. Despite clear warning signs about cliff falls, the public continues to ignore the dangers.

Warnings Ignored Despite Rising Cliff Fall Incidents

Signs in the area caution visitors to keep away from cliff edges due to frequent rock falls. This comes amid a series of recent chalk cliff collapses at nearby hotspots:

  • Peacehaven
  • Birling Gap
  • Saltdean – where the undercliff walk was shut last week after a chalk fall

Authorities urge people to stay well back from the cliff faces and the beach’s unstable zones.
