Opening Times

Outdoor space open year round.

Sennen Cove.

More Details

Found at the foot of Cape Cornwall, Priest Cove for centuries, has been a landing place for local fisherman and continues to be so to this day.

There is a seasonal ban from taking dogs onto the cove between Easter and October as it is still a working slipway.

In the summer you can witness the annual Brison Swim. This event is normally advertised (as there are the numerous postponements!) in St Just square.
