Coasting: An Expanded Guide to the Northern Gulf Coast - Softcover

"Coasting covers the land that I was thinking about when I wrote Forrest Gump. This great little guidebook is a must for all visitors to the Northern Gulf Coast, as it really does take you through the heart of 'Gumpland.'"
--Winston Groom
Author of Forrest Gump

"Coasting is wonderful, in-depth, and ultracomprehensive. . . . This book would make a wonderful companion publication to my own. . . . I recommend it highly."
--Claiborne S. Young
Author of Cruising Guide to the Northern Gulf Coast

For this, the thoroughly updated fourth edition, the authors stopped at nothing to make Coasting even more comprehensive. On second thought, they stopped at everything. On their sightseeing sojourn, they stopped, sampled, and shopped at every museum, restaurant, and boutique they could find from Waveland, Mississippi, to Carrabelle, Florida. And if you're looking for someplace to stay during your trip, the authors give you insight from their visits to inns, hotels, and bed and breakfasts along the coast.

From the natural beauty of the Coastal Birding Trail, to the comfort of Green Oaks Bed and Breakfast, to the delicacies at the Destin Ice House Seafood Market, you'll know where to eat, sleep, and shop (among other things). So, what are you waiting for?

Judy Barnes, Jolane Edwards, Carolyn Lee Goodloe, and Laurel Wilson are all good friends who spend a great deal of their time traveling--not just along the Northern Gulf Coast, but around the world.
