There are many reasons why people prefer going to the beach, some seek a sense of peace and quietness (depending on when you are going to the beach) and some just want the experience of being near the ocean to capture fond memories that will last a lifetime. Either way, we got you covered on what books you can read.
The Hotel Nantucket by Elin Hildebrand
If you looking for something juicy that will keep you on your toes then this is definitely a must-have. “No beach read list would be complete without Elin Hildebrand, ‘Queen of the Beach Reads,” says Molly Coogan, owner of Bunch of Grapes Bookstore in Vineyard Haven, Mass.
Vacationland by Meg Mitchell Moore
If you are on vacation and want to relax while enjoy you’re your time relaxing. “Vacationland is a perfect summer read set in a rambling house on a peninsula off the coast of Maine,” says Annie Philbrick, owner of Bank Square Books in Mystic, Conn. “Three strangers interweave into a complicated family as rambling as the house and set off a series of interactions that threaten to tear the family apart.
Mary Jane by Jessica Anya Blau
If you’re looking for a little nostalgia, Mary Jane may just be the perfect beach read. “A true coming-of-age story taking place in a beautiful beach town in the northeast in the 1970s,” says Marianne Reiner, bookseller at La Playa Books in San Diego, Calif. “All the ingredients for a great story are there: mother-daughter relationship, two celebrities, sexual awakening, drugs, group therapy, and music.
This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub
“Emma Straub’s new time-travel novel just swims you right away into everyday New York at 40 and then 16 years,” Philbrick says. “Poignant, loving, humorous, and such a beautiful painting of New York City in those teenage years, Emma has brought you a really fun and extraordinary novel.”
Between Tides by Angel Khoury
“This one edges on magical realism, but is based on a true story about the keeper of a life-saving service station with a family on both the Outer Banks and Cape Cod,” says Gee Rosell, owner of Buxton Village Books in Buxton, N.C.
