The Last Resort: A Chronicle of Paradise, Profit, and Peril at the Beach

The Last Resort is a captivating exploration of beach resort culture that delves into the psyche of the beachgoer and grapples with the darker realities of resort culture.

This book takes readers on a journey from Monte Carlo to Fiji, Miami Beach, and beyond, revealing the impact of overdevelopment and decline on once-exclusive shorelines.

With sea levels likely to rise by 1.5 to 3 feet by the end of this century, beaches will become increasingly difficult to preserve, and many will disappear altogether.

But what will our last resort be when water begins to fill the lobbies? The Last Resort offers a thought-provoking and timely examination of the past, present, and future of coastal travel, making it an essential read for anyone who loves the beach or is concerned about the impact of tourism on local economies and environments.
