Whitesand Bay

Whitesand Bay

Whitesand Bay is a wide sandy beach in Cornwall, United Kingdom popular with surfers. It offers parking and toilet facilities. The coast path can be walked to Lands End for spectacular coastal views. The bay lends its name to the Bay class frigate HMS "Whitesand Bay".

Perkin Warbeck landed here at the start of the Second Cornish Uprising of 1497.

Parking

There are two car parks, one in a large field beside the cliffs and another beside the beach. Both are pay and display, however if you want cheap(er) parking there is a car park (a field-only open in season) above the beach, accessed by the main road out of Sennen Cove.

Dogs

Dogs are banned on the beach from Easter Day to October 1.
