Porthgwarra Beach

Highlight • Cave

Remote, relatively unknown Cornish Cove, largely owned by Lord St Levan (of St Micheal's Mount). Located just under 3 miles south east of Lands End.
There is a small beach at low tide with an array of interesting rock pools and caves. There are many reminders of Porthgwarra's fishing past.

Pordenack Point Cliffs

Highlight • Climb

The section of the South West Coast Path here at Pordenack Point is simply beautiful. It is the first major headland south of Land's End. There are beautiful coastal views to be had from here, especially south towards the headland of Carn Boe. The finest granite cliffs in Cornwall are to be found here, between Pordenack and Porthgwarra in the south.

View of Enys Dodnan Arch from Pordenack Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

The views from Pordenack Point, the first major headland South of Land's End, are spectacular. To the North you can see the wonderful natural arch of Enys Dodnan.
This area is a coastal Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its biodiversity, in particular bird passage migrants and maritime vegetation.

Coastguard Lookout above Sennen

Highlight • Structure

A very pretty part of the South West Coast Path on the headland just west of Sennen village and cove.

Great views in both directions along the coast and you are also likely to see climbers on the cliffs in this area.

Sennen has shops, pubs and a fish and chip shop as well as a great beach and parking. Walking west there isn't much until you get to Lands End.

Mayon Cliff Lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful place with spectacular views. Everyone will find something for themselves.

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.
