What its pages say
In their own words
“The Beach Guide comes from a lifetime spent in and around the sea. I grew up in Cornwall and started surfing when I was 12. Back then, most plans involved trying to persuade someone's parent to drive us to the beach, usually with a surfboard wedged into the car somewhere it probably shouldn't have been.”
