A field guide to shells, sand dollars, sea glass, and more that “inspires a new appreciation for the wonders of the shore” (Providence Journal).

The Beachcomber’s Companion is a charming illustrated guide to collecting and identifying shells and other coastal treasures. Each of the entries includes fascinating descriptions, fun tidbits, and detailed artwork that makes it easy to identify your own beach discoveries.

A handy resource section offers tips on how to prepare before setting out on a shoreline adventure, from the beachcomber’s commandments to must-have items for every beachcombing toolkit and advice on preserving shells. Awash with information and gorgeous watercolor illustrations, this is an essential companion for all who love the ocean’s shore, asbreezy, inviting, and delightful as a day at the beach.

“Loaded with interesting information, charming anecdotes, and useful hints.” —Dr. David L. Pawson, Emeritus Senior Scientist, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History
