Beachcomber's Guide to the Northeast - Paperback

by Dan Tobyne (Author)

People have long walked the shore in search of treasures washed up from far away. Now, visitors and residents of New England and northeast have this source to get them to the beach and tell them what they can expect to find. Covering the coast from Maryland up to the Canadian border, The Beachcomber's Guide to the Northeast describes every prominent beach, its makeup (whether sand or rocky, ) and includes directions and pertinent facts about available amenities. The text includes descriptions and photos of flora and fauna, such as crabs, shells, birds, insects, even fish and whales. And of course there are the flotsam and jetsam that can be found, from driftwood to sea glass to beach stones and even shipwrecks. It's all covered here.
