A gorgeous gift book, Bliss presents a beautiful and inspiring photographic tour capturing the quintessential beach experience.

For beach dreamers and armchair travelers, these aerial seascapes feel like being suspended above the water, hovering in that calm, blue nowhere between map and memory. 

Translucent water; azure skies; warm sands; the rhythmic lullaby of the waves—the blissful serenity of the shoreline is presented from above in this breathtakingly vivid collection of photographs by Randall Kaplan.

From the coastlines of California, Hawaii, Florida, and Mexico to the idyllic shores of French Polynesia, Andalusia, the Amalfi Coast, and beyond, Kaplan shares his personal sanctuaries in this dazzling celebration of some of the world’s most alluring beaches.

“The quick hit of serenity supplied by each shot might help keep you going until your next beachy getaway—or inspire you to plan one.” —Frommer's
