Chernarus coast
The textbook edge
Short answer
East water, a string of towns, the sun as a compass. Most freshies start here.
Also: south coast · east coast
How it works
The coast is a necklace of names. Learn five and you can meet.
What to do
Walk with the water. Name the next town.
Don't
Don't treat every coastal city as a spawn nap.
