Finding Shelter

Sennen Cove has a very popular beach situated just a little way along the coast from Land's End, the most westerly point in mainland Britain.

Whitesands Beach is a large crescent of sand that faces out onto the Atlantic Ocean, so it experiences the full force of the Atlantic swell, making Whitesands Bay a popular spot for surfers.

At the western edge of the beach, sheltering in the lee of the Pedn-men-du headland is the village and small harbour.

Sennen still retains much of the atmosphere of an old fishing village, with a small number of local fishing boats plying their trade from the harbour.
