Seghy (Cornish: Seghe, meaning to dry) is a tiny island off the coast of west Cornwall, England, UK. It is the largest rock in Cripp's Cove, an inlet on the Logan Rock peninsula one mile east of Porthcurno.[1] Its name, pronounced "sai-hee", is properly 'seghys', Cornish for 'drying', the rock is usually seen with shags and cormorants perched on it, spreading their wings to dry.
