The cliff face gave way at Marsden, South Tyneside, yesterday afternoon as onlookers watched in disbelief.
Samantha Lawson, from Jarrow, had been walking along the beach with her partner Lewis and dog Vinnie and caught the rock collapse on camera.
The 29-year-old said it started with a few small rocks falling before another part of the cliff then gave way.
She added: We were just walking from the Marsden Grotto steps, as we do every weekend, and Lewis always says that it won t be long until the cliff gives way. Then, all of a sudden, a few tiny rocks started to fall so I started to video it and the whole cliff just gave way.
