Dog friendly year-round and renowned as one of the best surfing beaches in the country, Gwynver Beach is a secluded sandy beach, joining with Sennen Cove at low tide to form Whitesands Bay. Reached via a short, sand dunes path directly opposite Gwynver Beach House, this little-known beach is never too crowded, yet still benefits from the bonus of security of lifeguard cover between May and September.
Classically Cornish in landscape, with a magical ‘edge of the world’ feel, the endless white sands and turquoise waters of Gwynver and Sennen Cove give these beaches a distinctly Mediterranean flavour.
A paradise for surfers, sun-worshipers and families, this bay has been voted as one of Britain's best blue flag beaches by Conde Nast Traveller. Sennen Surfing Centre and Smart’s Surf School are great choices for individual and group lessons, suited to both beginner surfers and the more advanced.
The magnificent West Cornwall coastline offers a heavenly experience for walkers. Seasoned and casual hikers will relish direct access to the Southwest Coastal Path, voted the best coastal path in the country. Set off on a fantastic route south from Gwynver to Land's End via Sennen Cove or north via Cot Valley, to spectacular Cape Cornwall and beyond. Alternatively, explore a variety of routes through the historic tin mining landscape at Cape Cornwall or inland to Carn Euny, one of the best-preserved ancient villages in the South West.

"Gwynver Beach Cottage was everything it promised and more! With the most incredible views, plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to relax with a glass of wine and watch the sun go down. It had all the home comforts you could wish for, we loved the outside BBQ and eating al fresco with the ocean in the background. Beach on our doorstep, perfect for an early morning dip or walk on a fabulous secluded sandy beach. It really is an idyllic place to stay and we can’t wait to return."
"Thank you for a superb two weeks spent in most amazing place, thoroughly enjoyed by all. We especially loved the beach directly below.
Special summer memories."
