Waterfront Living
Whether you've summered in Eastern coastal towns, visited cottages beside the Great Lakes, or dreamed of Pacific Ocean sunsets from your own porch, Waterfront Living reintroduces the practical and aspirational possibilities of waterside small towns across the U.S.
Beloved waterside destinations can be a great place for those tired of fast paced living or seeking creative inspiration from nature to call home. This book introduces these locations with a stunning collection of photographs and testimonials from a diverse array of residents, who share tips on how to transition away from big city life, give back to the community, design personalized living spaces, and encourage artistic and social growth. Author and photographer Erin Austen Abbott profiles couples, individuals, and families celebrating their returns to waterfront hometowns or moves to former vacation destinations.
Waterfront Living highlights the rivers and bayous from Arkansas to Oregon, spends time lakeside in the Midwest, traverses oceans, inlets, sounds, and bays on the East and West Coasts, and explores islands off the shores of Seattle and New York City. Tips and sidebars help readers consider the unique opportunities and implications of small town life near the water, from starting a dream business to navigating weather and resources. A thoughtful appendix groups dozens of small towns by state, charm, and speciality as well as highlights the best locations for crabbing, sailing, waterside biking, seafood dining, and more.
