Light up a room with nautical switch plates featuring lighthouses and coastlines. They lend a special touch to either a nautical or coastal decor.
What could be more perfect for a switch cover than a lighthouse switch plate or some beautiful coastal artwork on a shoreline switch plate?
You'll find plenty of both here on this page! Lighthouses and coastlines are favorite subjects for sailors, cruisers, boaters, and those who just love the seashore or beach. There are plates for single and double toggles, and outlet covers, too - all with beautiful seafaring scenes and artwork on them.
Be sure to check out the sections about wave-washed lighthouses, and some brief, but cool, coastal facts. There’s also a video about the beautiful fjords of that grace the coast of Norway.

CruiseReady, The next best thing to owning a lighthouse is possessing it as a switch plate!
Indeed, north_america... a little piece of art surrounding a light switch or electrical outlet is so unexpected that its effect is greater than its size
These colorful panels could have a big effect on a room.
Isn't it amazing what just taking a little care will do? Nature really is quite adept at self healing, given the chance.
We have a sanctuary area near the isle of Lundy in the Bristol Channel. Fishing is banned, and the look but don't take policy is applied to divers.The resulting regeneration of the sea bed is magnificent, and, moreover, the restored sea bed is spreading beyond the sanctuary. This policy has been a great success.
You are quite adventurous to aspire to a 125 mile walk, Frank! Here, we use the term Sanctuary for areas that are being preserved. There are underwater marine sanctuaries that are established to preserve coral reefs, and other sensitive submerged areas. They are accessible to divers, biut there's a strict 'look but don't touch' policy, and anchorage of boats is prohibited.
I have just done a little background research, and the Fowey inlets of which I speak are known as Pont Pill. It is known as a place of outstanding beauty and is a marine conservation zone.
Whether it is walking along a beach or a cliff top I love the experience. When we visit our daughter and her husband, who live near the sea on the Isle of Anglesey, we often go for a coastal walk along the Menai Straits, the fast flowing channel between Anglesey and the mainland. At places along this coast there are woody areas where you can combine coastal with woodland walking.
I would love to do the whole Anglesey coastal walk, but at 125 miles it would take four days.
Oh, Frank - your coastal walks sound lovely. My type of coastal walking is on flatter terrain than that which you usually experience. I like to shed my sandals, and slosh along in the edge of the water. That's my favorite... it's all about the feel of both the sand and the water.
The South West tip of Portugal at Cape St Vincent is worth a visit. There is a light there, but the coastline north of it is some of the toughest walking country that I have encountered: barren karst with some sandy spots. I managed to walk about two kilometres before turning round. But there was a very nice little market near there, where I bought a good, warm woolen hooded cardigan
