This is a "how-to" book, packed with information to help you go beachcruising and/or coastal camping, no matter what your level of expertise may be. This book includes everything you need to know about selecting a beachcruising boat, where to beachcruise, how to make camp, what gear to buy, and more, including how to go cruising and camping at low cost. Ida Little has beachcruised and coastal camped full time for 20 years (in a variety of boats) and has observed what other cruisers and campers were doing. She shares her knowledge and adventures with you. In this book, "beachcruising" means cruising a small boat along a coast with the intention of camping ashore. Though it is possible to use 50-foot schooners to go beachcruising, this book focuses on small sailboats that are light enough to be lifted or rolled ashore, and sailboats under 30 feet which are designed to dry out flat on an ebb tide. This book elaborates upon the unique aspects of camping that apply to boating.

Camping is one of life's great pleasures, and Florida has plenty to offer those who need a quick getaway. But how to find the best from the more than 1,000 choices in the state? The campgrounds in the fourth edition of this popular guide were chosen based on three criteria: they had to be accessible by car but not overrun by RVs; boast great scenery; and be as close to a wilderness experience as possible. Ranging from forest to swamp to coast, these sites are rated by a five-star system for beauty, noise, privacy, security, spaciousness, and cleanliness. Each profile provides essential details on facilities, reservations, fees, and restrictions, as well as an accurate, easy-to-read map. For native Floridians or out-of-state vacationers, this exhaustively researched guide makes it easy to find and enjoy the best tent-camping experiences in the state.
