Longrock is a small coastal settlement on the outskirts of Penzance in west Cornwall, England, sitting on the edge of Mount's Bay with clear views towards St Michael's Mount. It lies between Penzance and Newlyn, close to the main road and rail corridor, so it feels connected despite its quiet seaside setting.
Historically tied into the fishing and maritime life of the area, Longrock today is largely residential with some holiday accommodation and a stretch of coast popular for coastal walks and watersports. The village retains a relaxed, local atmosphere while drawing on the wider cultural and economic life of nearby Penzance and the tourist trade around the bay.
