Organized into five sections—Beach Features, Animals, Plants, Minerals, and Hand of Man—the guide treats the beach as a landscape shaped by both natural life and human presence. Its second edition expands the earlier book with more than 1,400 identified curiosities, supported by over 1,800 color photographs, maps, and illustrations. The scope spans Florida’s 700 miles of sandy beaches, bringing together shoreline features and the organisms and materials found there in a reference designed for close observation.
