From Library Journal
Molloy, the author of other books on camping and hiking, explores the complete coastline of Florida. This is a guide to 24 campgrounds, all on public lands. After a brief introduction, the book divides into four sections: west, north, central, and south Florida. For each section there is an outline map locating the camps and major towns and cities. For each campground there is a "Key Information" box giving address, cost, amenities, facilities, number of sites, and directions, followed by a description of the beach and coast and of the campground. There is also a brief section on "Human and Natural History," what to do, and what's nearby. For the Florida beach camper, this is a very handy guide, well organized with the essential information. Recommended for all public libraries.AGeorge M. Jenks, Bucknell Univ., Lewisburg, PA

Florida's wilderness surprises
I have always enjoyed the beach, and when I saw Johnny Molloy's book I bought it immediately. It did not disappoint. With the book as my guide I made a grand tour of Florida's marvelous coastline. First, I started at St. Joe State Park, where I walked the wilderness beach backed by huge dunes. Then I headed south to Cayo Coasta State Park, whsere the ferry took me out to the quiet island getaway. After that, I crossed the peninsula and went to Sebastian Inlet, where the surfers entertained me as much as the excellent fishing. My final stop was at Fort Clinch, up near the Georgia border, where I toured the brick fort and enjoyed the beach here and on nearby Big Talbot Island. The best part was the smoothness of my vacation-it went off without a hitch, mostly due to the accurate research of Johnny Molloy. I plan to make another beach tour soon. Francisco Meyer, Atlanta, GA
