Shelteredareas withtidalcurrentswhere the fish bite, thewesternmostpoint inmainlandEurope, glaciers with views of the sea, mountains rising straight up from the ocean, sea eagleshoveringover the cliffs where thebreakersmeet theshore. If you want to get closer to the elements, you canhirea boat,take partin a guided kayaking trip or walk along well-marked coastal paths. Or simply lie and relax on the warm rocks by the shore while listening to theseagullsand thelappingof the waves. It's all there waiting for you.

During your trip you can find peace and quite in small communities on islands right out at the ocean'sedge.
