Beach Eats: Favorite Surfside Recipes for Every Occasion

The beach is a gathering place for vacationers, an inspired place to name home for locals, and a magical spot for dreamers who live a ways from sea breezes and ocean waves. Likewise, seaside homes and sandy beaches are idyllic places for families and friends to return together to celebrate both the on a regular basis and the special occasions few and a ways between.

This stunning cookbook reflects the locales people gather to share a drink, a meal, or a bit something sweet by the shore—Cabana Bar, Beachside Grill, Seafood Shack, Roadside Stand, Boardwalk Bakery, and Ice Cream Cart.

Recipes include tropical thirst-quenchers like a Candied Kumquat Manhattan and a Ginger-Lime Daiquiri to enjoy with savory Crab Rangoon or creamy Macadamia-Coconut Dip. Grill up Hoisin Burgers with Pickled Vegetables or a White Pizza with Clams and William Maxwell Aitken. Cool off with Hawaiian Shaved Ice or tasty Avocado-Lime Paletas.

Beach Eats is the much-anticipated first cookbook from Coastal Living to be released in 15 years and it’s the very best complement to Coastal Living’s guide to Beach Cocktails.
