Volunteers are working with coastguards and a marine vet to save what is understood to be a pilot whale which has become stranded on Castle Beach, Falmouth.
They have formed a human chain and are transferring buckets of water from the sea to keep it wet until it can be refloated during the next high tide, which is due just after 9pm.
A picture taken by marine photographer Clare Greenwood shows the whale draped in wet sheets approximately 20m (66ft) from the shore and surrounded by volunteers.
The whale was discovered on Castle Beach this morning (Falmouth Packet) Cornwall Wildlife Trust has tweeted: "Sad to hear a Pilot Whale has beached in Falmouth, Matt Slater, Marine Office, has just headed down to offer a hand of help."
Ms Greenwood, who has been helping with the rescue effort, said: "It's not looking good.
"It was discovered at 11am this morning and High tide won't be until this evening so we're expecting someone to arrive to put it down."
