The coast path, which runs the full length of the Marine Reserve (and beyond), is an excellent way to access and enjoy the spectacular Berwickshire coastline. It also provides a series of fantastic vantage points for watching seabirds and looking for marine mammals. St Abb�s Head is the best place to go whatever the time of year. With cliffs rising some 300ft out of the sea you can see much further than if sitting at sea level, and as the headland juts out into the sea it also gives you a panoramic view. In the summer months there are also the sights, sounds and smells of a seabird colony in full swing. However, marine mammals and seabirds can be seen from anywhere along the coast path walking its length means you cover more ground, and so have more of a chance of seeing something.
