Customer Reviews

this book is essential to all Gulf Coast travellers!!

"Coasting" is a great little guide of the beautiful Northern Gulf Coast from Appalachicola, FL. to Bay Saint Louis, MS. The author, a native of Fairhope, AL, gives great tips on finding the essence of this scenic area and its rich culture.If tourist traps are your bag, leave this book alone--you will not find them here! Instead, you will visit a home-owned and operated candy kitchen in Point Clear, AL; go on a quest for the region's best oyster Po Boy; find great bargains in shops and galleries off the beaten track. You will meet local artists, find the best beaches for bathing and shelling, and eat freshly caught Gulf seafood in dives and hole -in-the-wall bars. You will even find out about the best places to catch your own! So give "Coasting" and America's Third Coast a try. You will not be sorry!
