Wingfoil spot Sennen Cove in Sennen Cove, Cornwall, United Kingdom

One of England's most exposed beaches, it collects every drop of southwest swell and wind. Wing and kite riders come for raw ocean conditions and spectacular scenery. The wide sandy beach provides a forgiving launch and landing, but the water gets serious fast once you move beyond the protection of the bay.
