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.
