Sennen Cove is a stunning, wide sandy beach. In 1881, the first trans-Atlantic telegraph cable was laid between Sennen Cove and Nova Scotia. On March 22, 2003, the German cargo vessel RMS Mulheim ran aground at Gamper Bay, Cornwall. The chief officer accidentally snagged his trousers on a seat lever, falling unconscious and leaving the ship unsteered.
Easily accessed via the A30 road. Pedestrians can walk directly onto the beach via flat sandy slipways, or utilize the South West Coast Path. Battered by intense Atlantic storms over the years, the ship broke apart and was pushed into the rocky inlet of Castle Zawn, where a prominent rusted portion of its stern superstructure and hull remains wedged tightly against the cliffs.
