The beach appeared in the third series of TV show Poldark.

It was spotted on Saturday (29 Jun).

An HM Coastguard Padstow spokesman said: “The potential for it to cause injury to the unwary, or to collapse in on children exploring it should not be underestimated.

“Sand hole collapses can cause fatalities.

“The fact that a telehandler is required to fill this particular one in speaks volumes about the danger it presents.”

Charlie Watson Smyth from Padstow Farm filed it in.

Locals were fuming the potentially lethal hole had been dug, as reported on What’s The Jam.
