A photographic tour of shorelines near and far

Amy Dykens gathers 135 beach photographs from coastlines in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, Costa Rica, and France. The images attend closely to the material details of the shore: stones, shells, seaweed, waves, and shifting color and light, including photographs that span above and below the waterline. Brief reflections on gratitude and observation accompany the visual sequence, giving the collection a contemplative dimension alongside its travel-minded range. As a follow-up to My Heart Rocks, the book expands from beach stones to a broader portrait of varied seashores.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Photography readers interested in coastal landscapes
  • Travel-minded browsers exploring beaches across several countries
  • Fans of nature imagery focused on shoreline details

Book overview

Amy Dykens' My Heart Rocks, a collection of exquisite photography showcasing beach rocks, was a hit. In this sequel to her popular book, Amy Dykens captures her favorite beaches both at home and abroad.

The 135 enthralling images, along with words of introspection and gratitude, invite us to rediscover the natural world's magic and wonder. Beach stones, bottle-green waves, shells, seaweed, and unique "over-underwater" photos are a celebration of color, light, and absolute bliss.

  • United States (Cape Cod, Texas)
  • Canada (Nova Scotia)
  • Puerto Rico (Vieques)
  • Caribbean (Akumal, Tulu)
