Sea salt, also known as bay salt or solar salt, is a seasoning and preservative produced by the evaporation of seawater. Its composition varies, with sodium chloride being the principal component along with other salts such as calcium, potassium, and magnesium, as well as trace elements found in natural seawater. Historical production of sea salt dates back to ancient times, with methods of evaporation varying based on climate and geographical conditions.In traditional salt production in the Visayas Islands of the Philippines, coconut husks, driftwood, or other plant matter soaked in seawater are burned into ash, and the resulting brine is then evaporated in containers. However, this practice is endangered due to competition with industrially-produced commercial salt. In the colonial New World, slaves were brought from Africa to rake salt on various islands.Some gourmets prefer sea salt over table salt due to its coarser texture and unique flavors derived from local clays and algae found in the waters where the salt is harvested. Sea salt's mineral content and distinctive colors make it popular among culinary enthusiasts.The nutritional value of sea salt and table salt is similar, both primarily consisting of sodium chloride. However, table salt is more processed and often contains additives, while sea salt retains its natural mineral content.

The route features public artworks and stunning scenery, making it a memorable cycling experience.Traditionally ridden from west to east to take advantage of prevailing winds, the C2C is typically completed in 3–5 days, but some have achieved the feat in a single day. The route also connects to other parts of the NCN, offering opportunities for longer cycle tours. Detailed route guides and maps are available from Sustrans, making it accessible to cyclists looking to take on the challenge.
