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.

This sandy beach with its clear, blue waters was a delightful surprise! It was deserted except for a few surfers. The South West Coast Path contours around the bay just above the beach.
