A sleepy seaside village is known as one of the best surf spots in the UK, and also boasts rock climbing and art galleries.
Sennen Cove is two miles from Land’s End and has a fleet of fishing boats as well as beautiful thatched cottages. Anyone going for a drink will do so on a spot where once smugglers and ship wreckers were served ales at the 17th-century First & Last Inn With rock climbing on the cliffs and art galleries in the harbour, there’s enough of Cornwall's purest pleasures to keep visitors busy.
For thrill-seekers, Sennen is known as one of the best spots in the UK for hitting the waves for a spot of surfing. Vellandreath Cornish Cottages said: "Sennen Cove Beach is a surfing mecca for anyone looking for a surfing holiday, with it being one of the best surfing beaches in the country. With high-quality waves peeling all the way up the beach from Sennen Cove to Gwenver, it's easy to see why Sennen's sandy beaches are growing in popularity.
"The Sennen Cove Beach is situated in North Cornwall, at the most westerly point of mainland Britain, and is therefore exposed to the full force of Atlantic swells. This results in some of the best waves in the country and swells to match most north coasts best surfing beaches, which attracts surfers from all over the world giving Cornwall the title of the UK's surfing capital.”
Whatever your standard you can enjoy family surfing holidays on a number of beaches in Cornwall – no matter if your a beginner, intermediate or advanced – you can enjoy the waves on this beautiful sandy beach. Sennen Cove is regarded as one of the best beaches in Cornwall. Not only do you have high-quality waves and a beautiful sandy beach but the water would not look out of place wrapped around a Fijian Island.”
Meanwhile, a beach in Scotland which attracts riders from across the world has been named as one of the best surfing spots globally. The surfs off Thurso are so legendary people are willing to make the trip to what is the most northerly town on mainland Britain. Prime surf season in the town is between October and April, when the cold water is made even chillier by an icy stream flowing down the River Thurso.
The surf community first emerged in the Thurso in the 1960s, when a visitor to the town's castle decided to take to the waves, or so local legend has it. In the intervening years their number has grown and grown, as wetsuits get warmer and transport links make the trip to the Highlands easier.
