A spokesperson for the Coastguard said: "One car has already been hit by heavy waves making it veer across the road. Conditions in the area not good with heavy seas and driving rain in strong onshore winds.

"Road closure signs have been put in place. Please do not drive or walk past them."

If you see anyone in difficulty on or near the coast dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard
