One Step at a Time®
Piercing blue and sea green; the whisper of distant surf; bird song; the gnarled knuckles of fishermen repairing their nets in age-old villages: a trip to the coast is much more than sand and sky. From quiet Mediterranean coves undiscovered by tourist crowds to quaint villages where the catch of the day chugs into harbor on a wooden skiff each morning, we’ll take you to the seaside locales you’ve dreamt of. Here are a few of our all-time favorite waterfront destinations.
Europe
France: Normandy & Brittany
A favorite subject of Impressionist painters, the northern coast of France presents a tranquil landscape of iconic cliffs, grassy headlands, and fragrant orchards. Walking here, you’ll follow tidal flats out to the tidal islands of Mont St. Michel and visit the hallowed ground of D-Day.

Italy: Genoa & the Cinque Terre
Since the days of Dante, a string of five pastel villages on the Ligurian coast has delighted poets and wayfarers alike. With miles of seaside paths meandering through orchards, olive groves, and precariously landscaped gardens, it’s an ideal walking destination in one of Italy’s most evocative regions.

Scotland: The Isle of Skye
Stark, wild, and unspeakably beautiful, the towering seacliffs and windswept meadows of the Isle of Skye offer a different kind of coastal experience. Here, tiny fishing villages hug the shore beneath a spectacular cobalt sky and crumbling castles look out on the North Atlantic.
