More than 600,000 people visit the area every year
The coastguard recently urged people to stay away from cliff edges and bases after a large crack opened up near the Belle Tout lighthouse at Beachy Head.
The National Trust said coaches were no longer permitted to take tourists to Birling Gap and Seven Sisters as it tries to reduce visitor numbers.
However, visitors were seen peering over the cliff edges last week.
A spokesperson for the trust said: “At Birling Gap, we welcome over 600,000 visitors every year to this small rural clifftop location that is vulnerable to coastal erosion.
“We’ve seen a significant increase in coach visits in recent years, which the site is unable to cope with.
“We continue to welcome visitors by car, motorbike, minibus, and bus service.”
