Sennen Cove is an excellent sandy beach which extends for about a curving mile – becoming wilder and more dangerous at the northern end.

A brilliant centre for surfers and families – excellent facilities include a pub and award winning restaurant – cafes, a surf shop and with two surf schools offering top surfing tuition for adults and children with enough wetsuits to kit out a small army – and a large car park at the top of the hill.

Sennen Cove Harbour is home to a fleet of small pleasure-fishing boats. Take a fishing trip and enjoy the panoramic coastal views

Once you have descended the steep road into Sennen of the this slightly bleak but beautiful part of Cornwall – the place feels buzzing with activity and energy – with something for the extreme surfer to the arty foodie types and all points in between.
