Overview
Everyone knows the beaches of Florida are a top spot for locals and tourists alike, but what many natives or visitors might not know is how intricate each part of Florida’s coast is. Broken down into roughly 12 parts, the entire coast of Florid and the Keys offer beachgoers a unique experience at any part of the state. Doug Alderson, popular Florida writer and successful Pineapple Press author, delves into what makes each section of the state’s coast different in Discovering Florida’s Coast. From the emerald waters of Pensacola to the man-made islands and amazing skyline of Miami’s Biscayne Bay, readers interested in visiting different parts of the state’s beaches will not only see beautiful photos of the natural scenery. Lifelong Floridians and first-time visitors will enjoy reading through and seeing what makes the state so appealing to beach lovers, whether they are interested in the water sports, the wildlife, or relaxing on the beach. See the powdered sugar-like white sands of the Emerald Coast or the historic lighthouses of the Forgotten Coast through the eyes of an author who has not only kayaked the entire coast of Florida, but who is a Florida nature and scenery lover through and through.

Reviews
NetGalley Review: 4 stars Last updated on 22 Dec 2022 ""Alderson and Pineapple Press consistently produce books that show the true Florida, the one that has nothing to do with theme parks and bizarrely themed dinner theater. From the Panhandle to the Keys, Alderson showcases the vast coastline of one of the most naturally beautiful states in the country."" --Rosemary Smith, Librarian ""Netgalley""
