A popular sidewalk on the coast has fallen into the sea and locals say it isn't the first time.
West Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz is a popular walking area for locals and visitors. But on Friday, the sidewalk caved in.
Police closed the sidewalk, but now walkers are on the street, which some say poses a safety issue.
Locals say this kind of erosion happens all the time and officials say it could happen more often with climate change and rising sea levels.
