Visiting Sunset cruise around Land's End

About Sunset cruise around Land's End

Catamarans and sailing boats leave the marina in the late afternoon, round El Arco and head out towards the Pacific so passengers can watch the sun drop into the open ocean. Options range from party boats with open bars to quieter dinner cruises.

Tip: Ask whether the boat sails past the arch onto the Pacific side; the best sunset view is from beyond Land's End, not from inside the bay.
