Almost two million of us live within five kilometres of the sea, or of the ocean and our surrounding seas, and a slightly higher amount, some 2.5 million, live within 10kms of surrounding water, thanks to our being a small island, with a particularly indented coastline in the southwest, west and northwest sections, and not surprisingly they’re the country’s most scenic setting too, to boot.
