Ijmuiden
IJmuiden is the Netherlands' North Sea gateway to Amsterdam, where the world's largest sea lock marks the entrance to the North Sea Canal.

Late spring through early autumn offers the best weather for coastal exploration.
Day 5

Dover
Dover stands as Britain's iconic Channel gateway, where towering white chalk cliffs have greeted seafarers for millennia beneath one of England's mightiest medieval castles. Savour the legendary Dover sole at a harbourside table and explore the secret wartime tunnels within the cliffs where the Dunkirk evacuation was orchestrated. Late spring through early autumn offers the finest conditions, with long golden evenings illuminating the chalk face and calm seas for memorable arrivals and departures.

Honfleur
Honfleur, a historic port in Normandy, is known for its stunning waterfront and vibrant artistic heritage, having been a launching point for significant voyages like Samuel de Champlain's to Quebec. Don’t miss the chance to savor local specialties such as moules marinières and tarte normande while exploring the charming cobbled streets. The best time to visit is during the spring and summer months when the town bursts into bloom and outdoor dining thrives.

St. Peter Port
St. Peter Port is Guernsey's charming harbor capital, combining a thirteenth-century castle, Victor Hugo's extraordinarily decorated exile home where he wrote Les Misérables, and steep streets of shops and markets overlooking one of the Channel Islands' finest harbors. Must-dos include touring Hauteville House, exploring Castle Cornet's five museums, and tasting the traditional Guernsey bean jar. May through September offers the warmest weather for exploring this compact, walkable port town.

Villagarcía de Arousa
Villagarcía de Arousa sits on Spain's largest ría in Galicia, the heartland of European shellfish cultivation producing 250,000 tonnes of mussels annually alongside exquisite clams, razor clams, and the dangerous-to-harvest percebes barnacles. Must-dos include tasting fresh shellfish paired with local Albariño wine, visiting a pazo estate vineyard, and taking a boat excursion through the mussel-covered ría. June through September offers the driest weather, with October's harvest festivals adding seasonal celebrations.
