Land's End & Sennen Cove, West Cornwall
The Land's End Peninsula is one of the most
beautiful, naturally wild and unspoilt corners of Cornwall and one
of the most important and best loved landmarks in Britain - famous
for its unique location and beautiful scenery.
Now,
as always through the ages, visitors regard a trip to Land's End
as a pilgrimage. You cannot fail to feel a sense of awe and wonder
as you stand on the 200 feet high granite rocks that gaze out on
the Atlantic and the lost land of Lyonesse.
Wherever you go on the Land's End Peninsula, you
are never far from the sea. This is a rugged landscaped - wild and
beautiful with great views.
It is rare to discover a place such a concentration
of scenery, wildlife, history and arts in such a small area - making
Land's End the ideal place for a relaxing family holiday on the
beach or as a centre to explore the rugged coast line and moors.
From the awe-inspiring beauty of Porthcurno
Cove and the Minack
theatre to the remote clifftops of Pendeen and Zennor, Land’s
End reflects the magnificent moods of the Duchy, as it defiantly
protects Cornwall from the worst storms that the Western Approaches
can bring. Land's End marks the end of the sea’s dominance.

This popular cove is tucked around the corner from
Land’s End. 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.
Sennen Cove boasts one of the finest stretches of
sand in Cornwall. Whitesands Beach is a large crescent of sand that
faces out onto Atlantic Ocean, so it experiences the full force
of the Atlantic swell, making Whitesands Bay a popular spot for
surfers.
There is a well equipped lifeguard service in operation
during the main holiday season when it is generally safe to swim.
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 thee harbour. The small harbour has a working
lifeboat station.

N50º 04' 41.63" W5º 41' 52.68"
Sennen beach is a mile of fine sand stretching around
to neighbouring Gwenver beach. This is a very popular beach for
families in the main holiday season.
Access to Whitesands Beach is from the main car park
in Sennen. There are toilets in the car park and you will find a
few shops, surf shops , cafes and the "Old Success" public
house, just a short walk away in the village centre. The "Beach
Restaurant" is located on the beach, looking out over the Atlantic.
The restaurant has a large terrace on which you can relax and enjoy
stunning sunsets over this rugged and unspoilt bay.
A short distance along the beach, there is a shallow
valley with a small stream runs down to the sea. Sand dunes and
marram grass offer shelter and it is generally a little quieter
on the far side of the stream.
At low tide the beach joins up with its neighbour,
Gwenver beach, to provide over a mile of golden sand, so that even
on the busiest day in summer, it is possible to find the ideal spot,
to base the family. Surf lessons and board hire are available.
Gwenver beach
Gwenver beach is sandy and around 150 metres long.
This beach is best used at low tide, when it forms a large crescent
beach with its neighbour. There is a lifeguard service present during
the summer.
Gwenver is one of the most exposed beaches in Britain
and at high tide the beach slopes steeply into the sea and can be
dangerous. It is a good surfing beach, known for the strength of
its waves
