"Communities inhabiting coastal settlements around the world have long celebrated the harvest of the sea and appeased and appealed to the gods of the ocean through festivals and events. The coast has also been the focus of tourist attraction for many years as a liminal space for mental and physical recreation, whether in large scale seaside resorts, as ports of (dis)-embarkation for cruise and liner passengers, or in remote and beautiful coastal areas and fishing harbours. Here tourists may encounter community celebrations and festivities whether incidentally and unplanned or as packaged by tourism and cultural agencies and operators in coastal locations.
