Customer Reviews

Awesome guide!

I reluctantly travelled to Florida recently (cheapest place I could go last minute to escape our -5 weather). I am not a big Florida fan and have seen some fantastic beaches all over the world; however, these guys' descriptions, analysis, and candor really nailed it! I read the entire book even though I only went to one beach. I will definitely use Moon books again.

Thorough, realistic opinions

This book goes well beyond just the facts and figures. It gives the author's analysis, opinions, and very good advice. In-depth, detailed. Even discusses damage to each beach area caused by the recent busy hurricane seasons. Don't waste your vacation going to the wrong beach -- get help choosing the right beach from this book.
