Zantman's Rock is located Script error: No such module "convert". to the west of Land's End, Cornwall, and Script error: No such module "convert". west from the Isles of Scilly. Viewed from a distance, it is barely visible on the surface of the waters. It is Script error: No such module "convert". north of Bishop Rock Lighthouse, and about Script error: No such module "convert". northeast of the Crim Rocks.

The name "Zantman's Rock" is recorded on an Admiralty chart of 1860. Before then, it appears not to have been distinguished from the Crim Rocks a short distance to the southwest.[1] Several legends attempt to explain the name of the rock, one of which involves a Dutchman being shipwrecked and finding himself in the unlikely position of clinging on to the rock.[1]

Zantman's Rock has been the cause of at least one famous shipwreck: that of the Susanna, on 14 August 1913. The wreckage still lies on the southwestern side of Zantman's Rock.
