Thames Estuary
Panoramic views of the Kent coastline and the meeting of the river and the North Sea.
Frisian Islands
A beautiful chain of islands and sandbars along the Dutch and German coasts.
Port of Hamburg
Visuals of the massive industrial harbor and the winding Elbe River.
Hel Peninsula
A strikingly narrow 35km-long sand spit stretching into the Baltic Sea.
Curonian Spit
Distinctive sand dunes and narrow land strips separating the lagoon from the sea.
For the most dramatic views, choose the left side to witness the transition from the North Sea to the European mainland. In winter, the frozen lagoons near the Baltic coast are a highlight. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you for clearer photos of the coastline.
