The Gwineas, also known as The Gwinges, are a set of approximately fifteen rocks in the extreme southern English Channel, off the coast of the fishing village of Gorran Haven, Cornwall, on the south-west coast of Great Britain, remarkable for its seals, dolphins, gannets, and cormorants.

It is kept in place with four large anchors attached to chains, the flashing light is solar-powered, and it is serviced at least once a year.

[3] On Thursday 4 January 1940, the SS Ardangorm, a 5,000-ton vessel, struck the Gwineas in an ESE gale at night when en route from Cardiff to Fowey in ballast.

[5] The ship's back broke on 10 January and wood and other material washed ashore to be salvaged by villagers.

[6] On the 7th April 1895 the mainly steel-built Russian barque 'Pallas' was wrecked on Great Perhaver Beach after grounding on The Gwineas in an easterly gale.
