Police have issued a warning after teenagers were spotted jumping off a pier in Gorleston.
Great Yarmouth Police has said it has received a number of reports over the last week amid a period of warm weather.
The force said the area is particularly dangerous due to the pier being surrounded by rocks and due to the strong currents in the area.

In a statement shared on social media, a spokesman said: "We’ve had a number of reports over the last week of groups of teenagers jumping from the South Pier, Gorleston in the early evenings.
"While cliff and rock jumping in other countries is often glamorised on social media, Gorleston Pier is surrounded by rocks, and a dangerous, strong current which has the potential to drag anyone in the water out to sea."
Accidental drownings made up some of the 597 water-related fatalities in the UK last year.
Officers urged parents and carers of young people to warn them about the dangers of jumping off piers.
