A second, serious slip at Cape Kidnappers narrowly missed two people walking in the area.
Hastings District Council said it occurred on February 2 and was similar in scale to the one that seriously injured two Korean tourists and closed the area on January 23.
A pair who were walking in the area on Saturday narrowly escaped being in the path of this second rockfall, and were "very shaken", a spokeswoman said.
The visitors had ignored signs warning that the beach was closed, and did not have a right to be there, the spokeswoman said.
