From the Wikipedia article

Otter Cove is a small secluded cove on the south coast of Devon, England, between the coastal towns of Exmouth and Budleigh Salterton. It is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. Due to a landslip, the cove is no longer accessible from the headland. The top of the headland, Straight Point, is used as a firing range by the Marines.
