''In this invaluable guide to the uniquely varied coastline of the United Kingdom, Tony Soper, the broadcaster and naturalist best known for his television programmes on bird life and the natural history of the seashore, looks at the special qualities of coastal plants and animals, and the long-time devotion of the human race to the sea. He shows how seasonal life of the coastal habits - cliffs, sand dunes, estuaries and mud flats, shingle beaches, rock pools and the strandline - evolves throughout the year, and how it interacts and comes to terms with man's demands. He describes the birds, flowers and sea creatures which can be seen, and gives an idea of where to see seals, gannets nesting or colonies of wading curlews and oystercatchers, and when is the best time to see the fascinating underwater world of worms, crabs, anemones, starfish and molluscs in tidal rock pools.''
