The Top Tours for Coastal Beauty

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.
