Description
Sennen Cove lies just one mile northeast of Lands End, at the south western tip of Cornwall.
Sheltered by the mighty headland of Pedn-men-du, the Cove is tucked into the southeast corner of Whitesand Bay, with Sennen Cove Beach and Gwenver Beach to the northeast.
The harbour was formerly used by pilchard boats, the breakwater having been built around 1908.
Sennen Cove Harbour supports a small fleet of commercial fishing boats; and is home to a number of small pleasure-fishing boats.
Sennen Cove Lifeboat Station is the base for Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) search and rescue operations for the sea around Land's End, Cornwall in the United Kingdom. The first lifeboat was stationed at Sennen Cove in 1853. Since 2009 it has operated a Tamar-class all weather boat and an D-class inshore lifeboat.
