Sennen has a post office with general stores attached (including newspapers), a pub (the famous First and Last Inn) and a church. The nearby Seaview holiday camp offers some facilities to non residents including a restaurant and takeaway during the holiday season. The Cove offers further restaurants, Surf Shop and general store as well as another pub, The Old Success. For more extensive shopping facilities, St Just is about 3 to 4 miles away and has a Co-op supermarket, bakers and various take-aways. Penzance, about 10 miles away has a much wider range of shops including Tesco, Morrison, Macdonald's, KFC, Boots, WH Smith, Woolworths, etc.

The Far West of Cornwall is an area of outstanding natural beauty and interest and Sennen Churchtown offers an ideal base for exploring the area by car or on foot. Apart from White Sands beach in the cove there are other excellent beaches close at hand and we particularly recommend trips to Porthcurno and Porthgwarra beaches. While at Porthcurno, why not visit the Minack Open Air Theatre and the theatre museum on the cliffs above the beach.

We are close to several public footpaths including the coastal footpath and many interesting and invigorating short and long distance walks can be undertaken starting from the apartment. The area is renowned for its bird and marine life. Basking sharks and seals are regularly seen from the cliff paths and Whitesands bay is known as, "The Bay where the dolphins play". There are many bird watching areas nearby, such as Polgigga, Nanjizal and Marazion marshes. The coastal paths are bounded by a carpet of heather and seasonal wild flowers

For those interested in art, the area is outstanding. Because of the quality of light in the Far West, it has always been a haven for artists and this is reflected in the number of galleries to be found, particularly in St Ives but also in Newlyn and Penzance. You may also like to visit Sennen's own art gallery, The Roundhouse, down in the Cove.

There are a number of National Trust houses and conservation areas within easy reach.

You will find books, brochures and leaflets about the beaches, restaurants, arts galleries, museums, etc in the apartment and you will, we hope, find much to interest you in the area.

We hope you will enjoy a stay at Longships, Apartment 4 and find the Far West of Cornwall as spectacular and exciting as we do.

Longships is available all year round so why not consider an out of season holiday at a bargain out of season price. The Far West presents an entirely different face in Autumn, Winter and Spring, sometimes quiet and reflective, sometimes wild and spectacular.
