A man has been airlifted to hospital after being hit by a rock which fell from a cliff in Cornwall.
The accident happened at about 14:45 BST at Porthchapel beach, near Land's End, Falmouth Coastguards said.
A coastguard spokesman said a large rock fell from the cliff, hit the ground and "bounced" on to the man, who suffered rib and hip injuries.
He was flown to the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro by the Cornwall Air Ambulance. His condition is not known.
The Land's End cliff rescue team was also involved in the man's rescue.
