The pace of redevelopment has accelerated in recent years along Tampa
Bay's gulf beaches, leaving tourists and residents alike in awe. This
volume provides a glimpse at the beaches as they were and as they are
today, and opens a whole new window to view the development that both
enhances and threatens the barrier islands. Author R. Wayne Ayers and
photographer Nancy Ayers, residents of Belleair Beach, are actively
involved in chronicling and preserving the area's past.
