Wales
Lying where warm southern waters meet colder water from the north, Wales is surrounded by sea on three sides. The coastline is fascinating and incredibly varied - from exposed offshore reefs at the Smalls and the calm sheltered inlets of Milford Haven to the spectacular peaceful coastal waters of the Llyn peninsular and the dangerous rapids of the Menai Straits in the north. The variety of sea life is breathtaking.
