Porth Nanven (Dinosaur Egg Beach)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Known locally as Dinosaur Egg Beach, Porth Nanven is so called due to the egg like rocks that cover the cove. It sits at the end of the Cot Valley and is just a short distance from Land's End YHA if you happen to be staying there.

Gwynver Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

As you emerge through the hedge lined avenue that leads down to Gwynver Beach the view is simply stunning. It's much quieter here than Sennen Cove and can be reached via a short walk from Sennen or a small car park by the coast path. The walk down to the sand is steep but you can appreciate the beauty just as well from the footpath. At low tide you can walk along the beach between Gwynver and Sennen.

The beach has lifeguards during the summer and is popular with surfers. There is a resident pod of dolphins in the area so keep a keen eye out to sea. They have been known to come very close to the beach and play in the surf.

Sennen Cove Beach

Highlight • Beach

Sennen Cove is a popular surfing spot and with two surf schools. It’s the ideal place to give it a go. The beach is a wide expanse of golden sand and is a lovely place to sit and rest your legs a while, picnic or enjoy something to eat from one of the cafes or fish and chip shops.

During the summer, the lower car park can get very busy so, if starting a hike from here, it’s recommended to park in the high car park and walk down the hill or travel by bus.

Sennen Cove Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Sennen Cove is a popular surfing spot and with two surf schools, it is the ideal place to give it a go. The beach is a wide expanse of golden sand and is a lovely place to sit and rest your legs a while.

During the summer the lower car park can get very busy so if starting a run from here its recommended to park in the high car park and walk down the hill or travel by bus.

You can do a cracking coastal run from here to Lands End. As it is a public right of way, the footpath allows you to get right to the viewpoint without having to go through the pay barrier.
