Fourteen people were left stranded on a beach as the tide came in.
As reported, a huge landslip happened at Charmouth yesterday.
Tonnes of rock landed on Stonebarrow Beach, leaving part of it blocked and 14 people unable to exit.
No one was trapped or injured in the landslip, emergency services said.
Lyme Regis coastguards led the beachgoers to safety, while the RNLI lifeboat launched and volunteers kept watch off shore.
