Sennen Cove

There are a few dozen houses built primarily of granite and some of concrete, arranged mainly in terraces, typical of many of the villages in Cornwall.

[3] Next to the lifeboat station is the restored Roundhouse, now used as an art gallery and souvenir shop, but originally used to house a winch for hauling boats up from the beach.

Sennen Cove has become renowned for its surfing conditions and is highly regarded by local and non-local surfers alike.

During the three years he was in service (2005–2007), he raised many tourists' awareness of the dangers of swimming outside the designated zones controlled by the lifeguards, led by the 'Bilbo Says' campaign.

[5][6][7] In 2005, the popular children's book Shanti The Wandering Dog of Sennen & The Land's End was published, and tells the story of a collie dog who goes off on his lone wanderings around Sennen Cove, whilst his owner, an old man who spends his day looking out to sea from his hill-top house window, snoozes.

Alfie The MerCat of Sennen Cove is an illustrated story book by one of Cornwall's youngest published authors, Charlie Rose Elliott Peake.

The story has a subtle sea-safety message and is about a ginger feral kitten named Alfie whose life is literally transformed by some mermaids who live in the bay.

The South West Coast Path passes through Sennen Cove, being about half an hour's walk from Land's End.

In the nineteenth and early twentieth century a number of folklorists found folklore stories and beliefs at Sennen Cove.

[16] William Bottrell included a section about a supernatural being named the Hooper: a marine creature that appeared as light in the mist just off the Cove and 'hooped' to keep the fishermen off the sea when storms were coming.
