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.

Katy Bryony said: “Anyone that finds this funny, clearly can’t remember the children that have died after these sort of holes collapse onto them.

“No-one should underestimate the power of deep holes dug in the sand to cause tragedy.
