The Jersey Shore Keepsake Book

A perfectly sized souvenir, a gift, or a portable way to immerse yourself in the charm of the Jersey Shore. From 30,000 feet, the shore looks to be all the same-130 miles of a very thin and vulnerable line of sand-and Long Beach Island is the poster child. A closer look reveals an intense, dense variety of buildings and human activity with a few preserved bits of land. Behind it are bays, estuaries, and marshes-essential nurseries for fish and habitats for shore birds. These 85 images are a variety of eye-catching and colorful scenes that await a willing photographer or painter. -Schiffer
