Danger Point, Coastal cliff in Devon, England
The red sandstone cliffs at Danger Point extend 100 meters high along the South Devon coast between Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth.
The Royal Air Force included Danger Point on their 1961 navigation maps, marking it as a critical location for military operations in the region.
The geological formations at Danger Point contain rare Triassic period fossils, including specimens of the Rhynchosaur beaked lizard.
Access to the shore requires careful timing with low tides, as the beach contains large, slippery boulders and limited escape routes.
The cliff face displays two distinct rock sequences, the Pebble Beds and Otter Sandstone Formation, which formed 225 million years ago.
