Just 2 miles round the corner from Land's End, the popular surfing beach of Sennen Cove picks up a lot of swells, expecially during summer. The spot is suitable for all levels of kiteboarding and windsurfing.
Even at high tide, there is usually a sand bank in the top corner where you can rig, launch and land in safety. The waves here are frequently monsters, making Sennen a great wave riding beach in anything from SW to N winds. Beginners should not attempt this beach at high tide, or in heavy surf.
