  • The surroundings

    A paradise for families, surfers, coastal walkers and everyone in between, Sennen Cove is home to a gorgeous village and a long stretch of sand which has been voted as one of Britain's best blue flag beaches by Conde Nast Traveller.

    Classically Cornish in landscape, with exceptionally tropical blue water and perfect white sands, Sennen Cove and its surrounding coastline feel like they could be somewhere on the Mediterranean coast.

    The beautifully traditional village sees a row of cafes, pubs, fish and chip shops and art galleries lining the shorefront. Spot dolphins whilst enjoying a pint sat outside the Old Success Inn. Browse local gems at the iconic Roundhouse and Capstan art gallery. Find a secluded spot on the sheltered harbour cove or endless beach for an afternoon of sunbathing. Sennen is all about a slower pace of life, taking in the coastal wonder that lies around every corner.

    If you do fancy a day of activity, the West Cornwall coastline is unmatched for scenic coastal strolls. Set off south from Sennen Cove towards Land’s End, or head north via Cot Valley to the divine Cape Cornwall and beyond. If you’re into watersports, tackle the fun, consistent waves with surf lessons from Sennen Surfing Centre and Smart Surf School, suitable for anyone from complete beginners to the more sea-savvy.

    Nearby, discover the iconic Minack Theatre and St Michael's Mount. St Ives is a short drive away, with the famous Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, great shopping and lively cafe and restaurant culture. Even closer is Mousehole, a pretty fishing village.
