Witnesses said the woman was apparently trying to take a shortcut before she lost her footing on loose rocks, falling about 100 feet to her death.
"People on the cliff and on the beach were shouting at her to stay still. The rocks were coming loose under her feet then she just bounced down," one witness, who asked not to be named, told the newspaper.
Dorset police said it was investigating the incident, adding that the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. A spokeswoman for Dorset and Wiltshire fire and rescue service said:"We attended this incident in support of police and coastguard colleagues. We were called at 3.14 p.m. after reports that someone had fallen from height at Man O'War beach. Crews from Bere Regis and Dorchester attended, along with a technical rescue team from Weymouth.
