This stunning collection of images and stories explores the most
beautiful and fascinating coastlines around the world.
From deserted beaches to busy ports, pretty fishing villages to a
surfers' paradise, salt marshes to a ship-breakers' yard, Coast
celebrates that sweet spot where the land meets the sea. It spans the
globe, stopping to discover coastal paths to the shipwrecks left high
and dry in the Aral Sea; world-famous locations such as Rio's Copacabana
Beach and California's Big Sur; and the lesser-known coastlines of Yemen
and Oman. Traveling from Algeria to Antarctica, the Amalfi Coast to the
Dead Sea, the book visits nature reserves, tourist resorts, rugged
landscapes, desert-island tranquility, fjords and fossils, eroding
cliffs, and even whole towns lost to the waters.
