Here’s our Safer Swimming Guide for Sennen Cove.
Sennen Cove is well known for it’s surfing but we think it’s very undervalued as a swimming spot. Now, this is obviously a beach with surf but when the swells are small it offers a fantastic day out and some really nice swimming conditions. The water quality and clarity (without swell) are pretty good, the beach is another Cornish stunner and it’s a little out of the way. It does get quite a crowd in the peak seasons but offers you a bit of a chance to escape the crowds in the early and late season.
Best to swim in the main season and chat to the lifeguards before swimming.
In terms of a wild, winter dips you also get some protection from the harbour wall at mid-high tide, with very affordable parking right next door. Ideal for a cold water dip and coffee at the local cafe.
