There is something exalting about standing on the very edge of the continent, looking west over an ocean that stretches all the way to Japan.Here is an environment that remains largely untouched by the impact of civilization, a place of open ocean vistas and protected bays, bounteous wildlife and small coastal settlements. Each year it is a destination for thousands of visitors who come for the unparalleled chance to see marine life in its natural environment, breathe the tangy salt air and stroll the streets of the small settlements--to be a part of that special place where the sea meets the shore, the Pacific Rim.
