Ah well. Spoilsports, aren't they?
It's much more fun in the USA. If helicopter pilots want to fly through Los Angeles International's airspace along the coast, they request the "shoreline transition" and are cleared to fly NOT ABOVE 150 FEET! It's great fun, you get down to about 100 ft, 50 yds or so out from the beach, then keep an eye open for birds, kites, and the like, and wave at people on Santa Monica pier as you pass very close to the end of it at about the same level.
I'm not quite sure why, but I seemed to find that I just HAD to fly that route almost every day.
