This is a wonderful book if you want to take beaches seriously in Florida and are interested in trying different places. The book is divided into sections of Florida which makes browsing a particular area easier. It gives great information about each beach area, including adjacent areas for launching boats etc. It gives directions to get there, places to park, entry cost, length of beach and the writeup gives the kind of information you need to determine if it's a beach you'll like-- information such as what the facilities are like ( "kind of rough") and whether pets are allowed. It also gives a web site if you need more information as well as a phone number. It is a REALLY complete guide of Florida's beaches.

This book is a must for anyone wanting to know more about the beaches in Florida. It is very descriptive and will be helpful to me as I try to find the right area of Florida to move to.

"Mary and Bill Burnham prove that Florida's beaches aren't just about soaking up rays. Revealing secret sweet spots throughout the Sunshine State, they've created the most detailed guide for beachgoers to ever hit the shelves.

"The University Press of Florida celebrates the diversity of the state's outstanding beaches in its broad-ranging series Wild Florida with the Complete Florida Beach Guide. Written by the dynamic husband and wife team of Bill and Mary Burnham, [this] is the most definitive work of its type."
