Book Description
Discover the natural beauty and cultural attractions of the rich Gulf Cast of Florida, from the beaches of Bradenton to the Ten Thousand Islands. The essence of Gulf Coast Florida lies in the delicate balance between natural wilderness and social civility. Award-winning author Chelle Koster Walton directs you to lush landscapes, sugary sands, and excellent shelling and fishing in an area that offers fabulous lodging, restaurants, shops, and cultural and recreational activities to suit everyone's taste and budget. Walton outlines the history of the region and offers many suggestions for exploring the diverse legacies of the settlers. Fully updated to keep abreast with the new resorts, restaurants, and attractions in the region, this new updated and expanded third edition offers the most comprehensive and critical review of what to do on the coast. New to this edition: "Chelle's High Fives," a special section that rates the creme de la creme in capricious categories such as martinis, playful beaches, and old Florida funk.

 A better guide to this area April 27, 2004
Jackie M. Bachenberg (Canton, GA United States)
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Although this book is not on a par with my favorite DK books, it's one of the better that I have seen on this area of Florida. The author gives a good list of things to do, places to see, where to eat, and where to stay. It lacks the punch and polish of some of the travel books (...), but it gets the job done.
My star ratings:
One star - couldn't finish the book
Two stars - read the book, but did a lot of skipping or scanning. Wouldn't add the book to my permanent collection or search out other books by the author
Three stars - enjoyable read. Wouldn't add the book to my permanent collection. Would judge other books by the author individually.
Four stars - Liked the book. Would keep the book or would look for others by the same author.
Five start - One of my all time favorites. Will get a copy in hardback to keep and will actively search out others by the same author.
