Police have launched a critical incident investigation following the death of a man at Bar Beach on Tuesday night.
Officers were called to the beach just after 7.45pm to reports of a concern for welfare.
On arrival, they attempted to speak to a 78-year-old man before he fell from a cliff.
A critical incident team from the Port Stephens-Hunter Police District will now investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident and a report will be prepared for the Coroner.
If you or some you know needs help, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
