There are a TON of weird and interesting wrecks along those shores. The amount of massive trees that wash up as driftwood is also something that boggles the mind.

That part of the coast suffers from some pretty heavy winds, rains, surges and waves, and is also some of the rockiest coastline you'll find in the world. That combination makes it hell for ships (specifically older ones that needed to remain close to shore), so it's no wonder the place has earned that nickname.

Still great fun to explore, however, and I highly recommend everyone do it if they can. Sunsets from anywhere along there are simply magical.
