A National Geographic-style pictorial of America's first seaside resort. Similar in style to Krist's book, Impressions of Bucks County. New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC share a favorite summertime destination: the New Jersey coast. This beloved 127-mile shoreline is a classic American vacation spot. Over 30 million people a year go "down the shore," as the locals say, to get their fix of surf, sand and sun. Experience the glittering casinos of Atlantic City, the Victorian elegance of Cape May, and the pristine beaches of Island Beach State Park. Scale beautiful lighthouses and stroll the boardwalk with Miss America contestants. Paddle the rivers and travel the backroads of the wild Pine Barrrens National Reserve in search of the elusive and infamous Jersey Devil. The beauty, traditions, and offbeat culture of the Jersey Shore is captured in stunning, National Geographic-style photography, including breathaking aerial views and 24-inch-wide panoramics. Join Bob Krist and take a tour down the shore!
