A major emergency has been declared after a massive cliff collapsed onto a busy beach in the Canary Islands.
The terrifying incident was caught on camera and showed horrified sunseekers screaming in horror at the La Gomera holiday hotspot.
Five people have already been rescued by the emergency services but fears are growing that campers and caravans may have been struck by the debris.
The massive sand cloud caused by the collapse could be seen from miles around, the Mirror reports.
The dramatic incident happened late Saturday afternoon on the Argaga beach in the popular resort of Valle Gran Rey.
The beach has been closed down as there are huge cracks in the cliffs and experts fear more of it could fall.
Reports suggest there had been some walkers in the area, although no one has yet been reported missing.
The emergency operation will continue overnight and local residents are being asked to account for all members of their families.
President of La Gomera's island government, Casimiro Curbelo said they were "optimistic" there would be no victims as moments before the collapse, there were small landslides in the area that caused people who were there to move away.
Firefighters, the Red Cross, Civil Protection volunteers, the police, Civil Guard and mountain rescue were all brought in.
