Synopsis Living with Florida's Atlantic Beaches by : David M. Bush
A call to live with the coast, as opposed to living at the coast; unless Florida coastal communities conserve beaches and mitigate storm impacts, the future of the beach-based economy is in question.

Synopsis Living Beaches of the Gulf Coast by : Blair Witherington
Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle beckon curious beachcombers with miles of wave-swept Gulf coastline. These beaches offer more than a sandy stroll amidst stunning scenery—they are alive! As ever-changing ribbons of sand, these beaches foster unique life-forms and accept beguiling castaways from a vast marine wilderness. Mysteries abound. What is this odd creature? Why does the beach look this way? How did this strange item get here? Living Beaches of the Gulf Coast satisfies a beachcomber's curiosity within a comprehensive yet easily browsed guide. The guide is written in a familiar style and is illustrated with distribution maps and hundreds of color photos. Accounts include beach anatomy, coastal phenomena, and shoreline animals, plants, and geology. Hundreds of seashells are depicted as well as other interesting animals, flowers, historical structures, beach sands, and beach art. The authors suggest a variety of beach scavenger hunts and recommend hints for beachcombing success.

Synopsis Living with the East Florida Shore by : Orrin H. Pilkey
More than one transplanted Floridian has paid $150,000 for a beautiful condominium with a sea view only to learn that, to keep the building from becoming part of the view, considerable additional money must be spent to build and repair seawalls or to pump up new beaches by dredging sand from offshore. Most of Florida's beachfront property lies on narrow strips of sand called barrier islands, which are low in elevation and subject to flooding during storms and hurricanes. Some of the construction is poor, adding to the problems facing homeowners, most whom came from other parts of the country with little awareness of the hazards of beaches. In Living with the East Florida Shore, Orrin H. Pilkey, Jr., of Duke University, along with his co-authors, has described the varied problems that confront the east shore of Florida today.

Synopsis 20 Best Florida Beaches and Coastal Cities by : Gillian Birch
20 Best Florida Beaches and Coastal Cities (B&W edition) is a comprehensive overview of some of the best beaches in Florida. Each chapter offers interesting and informative information about individual Florida beaches and coastal cities, making it easy to choose a great destination for your next Florida beach vacation. For those living in the area, or proposing to do so, this book offers a host of local information and photographs so that you can clearly picture each place in your mind before you visit. The book is written by a freelance travel writer who has lived and worked in Florida, and has authored several travel books about Florida. Reading this book is like visiting Florida with a local. It gives clear descriptions of each chosen Florida beach and coastal city, circumnavigating Florida's coastline from Amelia Island in the northeast to Pensacola in the far northwest, providing a wealth of fascinating facts along the way. For example, did you know that Fort Myers Beach sand is perfect for sandsculpting and that is why the annual championships are held there each year? And did you know that Caspersen Beach near Venice is the Sharks' Tooth capital of the world, or that Tarpon Springs still has sponge divers in this traditional Greek community? Each highlighted destination comes vividly to life as the book reveals a wealth of interest, history and things to do for any potential visitor. I hope that long before you reach the end of 20 Best Florida Beaches and Coastal Cities, you have added a few "must-do's" to your wish list. The book is also available from Amazon in a full color edition and as an ebook.
