Trevose Head (grid reference SW853764) is a headland on the Atlantic coast of north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated approximately 5 miles (8 kilometres) west of Padstow.
The Padstow lifeboat is stationed on the east side of Trevose Head.
Trevose Head Lighthouse, maintained by Trinity House, is on the north-west corner of the headland.
The South West Coast Path runs around the whole promontory. In clear weather, visitors to Trevose Head can see virtually the whole length of the north Cornwall coast; to the north, the view extends beyond the Cornwall county boundary to Hartland Point (40 miles), Devon; to the south, it extends beyond St Ives to the headland at Pendeen Watch (35 miles).
The ruins of St Constantine's chapel can still be visited, as they are on an ancient right of way, nowadays on Hole 3 of Trevose Golf Club. Trevose Golf Club is situated between Constantine Bay and Mother Ivey's Bay, behind Booby's Bay.
