The situation of The Bosun’s Locker cottage faces North and out to sea. The rocky outcrop of the Pedn-men-du cliffs to the West of Sennen Cove divert the sea down the Tribbens channel and across in front of the cottage.

In rough weather, huge waves travel within 50 metres of the cottage and crash in to the man made break water wall, which protects the harbour. A most exhilarating sight!

From the cottage you can see across to Cape Cornwall directly in front, and to the East you can watch the Atlantic breakers rolling on to Whitesands and further along Gwenver beach.

On calm sunny days the water is turquoise blue and green and crystal clear.
