73 page expanded edition 2007 (timeless!). By Wolf Berger. Published by the author.

In the 1970s, Wolf Berger, Ph.D., a scientist at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, and his wife Karen guided annual beach walks for the Solana Beach Town Council. The aim was two-fold: to increase awareness of our most important natural resource and to enhance enjoyment of our beaches through knowledgeable observation of physical processes and shore life.

This book is intended to answer the requests of many beach walkers for a brief guide. In the years since (and several new, expanded editions) “Walk Along the Ocean” has been recognized by many to be the simplest yet most complete guide to being a knowledgeable beach walker. Spend an hour with this book, and carry it on a few walks, and soon you’ll see the shore with new eyes. Suitable for ages 11 and up.

These books were donated by Karen Berger to Torrey Pines Conservancy gift shop and the Torrey Pines Docent Society gift shop (if you wish to avoid the wait to receive in the mail). We are pleased to bring it back to availability! All proceeds go to our organizations. Thank you Karen!
