Awesome Beach Reference Book December 25, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great little reference book for anyone who will be visiting the beach or even wants to. It is very high quality w/tons and tons of pictures, so I was glad to pay such a small price for it, especially since I didn't know it would be this good when I bought it. It tells about all sorts of things that may grow or wash up on Florida beaches. Most people think of the obvious, but this book has so many things and animals that I've never seen or even heard of before. It also tells you whether or not things can be touched, as in whether they are poison, sting, etc or not and what parts of Florida the things can be found in. It even tells the different types of shells, which is always nice. I wished it could've provided some more detail on some things, but for the amount of things included in this book it would've been hard to provide extensive detail. It provides all that you would need to know about most things. I would recommend this to any marine lover or anyone that visits the beach often. It is really helpful to know about some of this stuff before you go out and encounter it.
The Only Field Guide you will need when you go to the beach December 7, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a comprehensive identification guide, but it is much more. Unlike most identification guides, it is possible to sit down and read this book for pleasure.
There are wonderful photographic illustrations, often with more than one picture to illustrate a subject. The text is clear and concise but not too concise. On every topic they have a feature called " Did you Know". This is a paragraph about some odd fact about the subject. For example, "Laughing Gulls are the beach bird most likely to steal food from your hand..."
This may be the only field guide I will bring with me on future trips to the beaches in Florida.

If you're a novice beachcomber like myself, you'll love Florida's Living Beaches. It's comprehensive - and the great pictures and descriptions makes identifications a snap. A great gift for beachcombers too!

Learned lots of new information from this book. Great for taking along on a beach excursion. Nice photographs and descriptions for each item discussed. Overall, a nice book to have around.
A one-of-a-kind guide enthusiastically recommended August 4, 2007

Lavishly illustrated with 985 full-color photographs and 431 maps, Florida's Living Beaches: A Guide for the Curious Beachcomber is an amazing catalogue of the many treasures a beachcomber can discover along Florida's 1200 miles of coastline. Printed on high-quality glossy paper with a water-resistant dust jacket, Florida's Living Beaches describes beach features, animals, plants, and minerals at length, as well as items (and pollution!) that are the legacy of humans. Simple diagrams also reveal along which parts of Florida's coast that different individual features can be found. A one-of-a-kind guide enthusiastically recommended for Florida beachcombers and armchair beach-travelers alike.
