Reviews
"The science- and mindfulness-based activities suggested in Easkey Britton's 50 Things to Do at the Beach--think seabird watching or rock pooling--come in an accessible format conducive to quick dips."
- Publishers Weekly
""Britton includes responsible coastal activities in her new book, 50 Things to Do at the Beach, such as learning to read riptides or foraging for seaweed sustainably. The book is about both what the ocean can do for us and what we can do for it. Understanding how our health and wellness is supported by water 'kind of shifts our perspective on it a little bit, ' Britton said, rather than seeing it as 'something that's just [where we] go to on holidays.'"
- The Washington Post,
""Kids at the beach can go deeper -- literally and figuratively -- into the sea with tips from environmental scientist and professional surfer Britton. Part of the publisher's "Explore More" series (previous titles include "50 Things to See in the Sky" and "50 Things to Do in the Wild"), this book explores our connection to the ocean and its health."
