Coast guard closes emblematic Greek beach after rockfall

At least seven people have been injured after a rockfall at a popular beach on the Greek Island of Zakynthos.

The beach, also known as "shipwreck beach", is popular with tourists and can be reached only by boat.

Coast guard officials told the Evening Standard that those hurt had not sustained any life-threatening injuries.

A couple of small vessels overturned from the force of the fall and the subsequent high waves.

Fire department rescue crews headed to the area accompanied by a sniffer dog, while the coast guard evacuated the beach and banned boats from approaching until further notice.
