Crews were called to area shortly after 11.15pm after a car went over the side.
The car, a red Mini, had left the road and came to rest just above the water line at the bottom of the cliff.
Fire Service station officer Tony Duncan said: ‘The single occupant of the vehicle had self-extricated but required assistance from the emergency services to get to a place of safety. Fire crews and Coastguard worked together to set up a rescue system for casualty recovery.
‘Fire crews and Coastguard remained in attendance for three hours to assist in the recovery of the vehicle.’
