Sennen was primarily a fishing village where the main trade was the pilchard industry. Nowadays Sennen still has a small fishing fleet but the main source of income is tourism. The beach is a lovely sandy beach that has become increasingly popular as a surfing beach.
There has been a lifeboat stationed at Sennen since 1853 and the lifeboat house and slipway is situated at one end of the cove.
