We all know walking is good for body, mind and soul. Add views of the sea into the mix and it’s even better. We want to hear about your favourite coastal hikes in the UK and Europe. Whether it’s a multi-day hike in a wild landscape or a saunter along the beach at sunset, tell us about what makes your chosen walk special and about any highlights en route.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.

Keep your tip to about 100 words

The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will win a £200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property – the company has more than 3,000 worldwide. The best tips will appear in the Guardian Travel section and website.

We’re sorry, but for legal reasons you must be a UK resident to enter this competition.

The competition closes on Monday 22 May at 9am
