Beautiful Book!
: This is truly a stunning book. The pages take you around the world by continent with engaging text, incredible pictures, and great adventure. I find myself picking up the book and being transported to beaches all over the world. I was thrilled to see my favorite Grayton Beach State Park featured. It was fun to see an old favorite and learn about so many new beaches. I highly recommend Best Beaches.I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.

Adore this!
Have purchased this as a gift and likely will re-purchase for the same purpose.
Photographs dominate (which I like) but there's really useful insight into the location of each beach, how to get there and why you should go.
Also love that there's some really unexpected places in here too (Iceland, Antarctica, Norway). It says "incredible beaches" on the cover and it lives up to that promise.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
I've picked up a few of these Lonely Planet books now, and they all had me lusting after the locations. The Best Beaches boasts a list of 100 of the worlds best.

The sample we received is the hardbacked version. The quality is excellent with good clear print and an embossed textured cover. The pages I side boast some outstanding colour photography of the said locations with some text about each. Unlike many of Lonely planets other tomes, this is more of a classic coffee table book than a traveller guide. However it still serves as inspiration and some of the locations look amazing.

A high quality coffee table book.
