Its idyllic seascape and beaches have attracted writers and artists from all over the world, such as the Shelleys who loved it back then.

The most convenient way to reach the villages is by train, and with a daily train ticket, one can travel between the villages on the same day. The five fishing villages are built on the cliffs by the sea, and the train tracks also run along the sea.
