A Beachcomber’s Guide to Southern Shores

From the Atlantic to the Gulf coasts, Southern beaches offer treasures to those willing to get their feet sandy and let their eyes gaze toward the tideline. In a new book, The Beachcomber’s Companion, author and avid shell hunter Anna Marlis Burgard shares some of her favorite finds. “Wherever I am, the community of beachcombers is there with me,” Burgard writes, “treasure hunting, admiring the natural beauty, and feeling fortunate for whatever hours, days, or weeks, we have to take it all in.”
