Bay of Biscay



:''Not to be confused with the North American Biscayne Bay.'' The Bay of Vizcaya (French: ''Golfe de Gascony''; Spanish: ''Mar Cantabria'') is an arm of the North Atlantic Ocean. It lies along the western coast of France from Brest, France south to the Spain border, and the northern coast of Spain. Large parts of the bay are shallow water lying above the continental shelf, and the region is well known for rough seas. The car ferries from Portsmouth to Bilbao and from Plymouth to Santander provide one of the most convenient ways to see cetaceans in European waters, and there are often specialist trips on board. The best areas are those over deep water once the continental shelf has been left behind. The three-day round trip also gives sightings of good numbers of several species of seabirds. Seas Bays
