Just one mile north east of Land's End, Sennen Cove Lifeboat Station has a new state-of-the-art Tamar class lifeboat. The station also operates a D class inshore lifeboat. The Sennen Cove Station is one of two for the help of shipping in the waters off Lands End. The other is Penlee Station, successor to the station at Penzance which was established in 1803.
