Sennen Cove
Sennen Cove has become renowned for its surfing conditions and is highly regarded by local and non-local surfers alike. Sennen tends to be slightly more protected from winds and swell than Gwenvor at the other end of the bay.
Many people have commented on Sennen's laid back and friendly atmosphere which adds to the feel of Sennen Cove, making it a popular tourist destination for holiday makers and surfers alike. Sennen is good at most tides, bar extreme high tide, works best with a westerly swell and a light easterly wind. Surf gear can be hired at the beach, situated next to a large car park and beach cafe.
The Sennen Cove lifeboat provides a dramatic reminder of the power of the Cornish seas, but the towering Cape Cornwall and Brison Rocks presents a natural breakwater that offers safe bathing areas on this dramatic beach which is surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
