Long-time Florida resident Joshua Kinser covers the best of the Gulf Coast, from the mangroves of Everglades National Park to the glass skyscrapers and lazy canals of Tampa. Kinser has plenty of fun, interesting trip strategies to offer, including Best Beaches, Camping on the Coast, and RV the GC. Complete with details on snorkeling and diving the Nature Coast's Caverns, wandering through the historical sites of Apalachicola and Tallahassee, and fishing along miles of coast and parkland, Moon Florida Gulf Coast gives travelers the tools they need to create a more personal and memorable experience.

Joshua Kinser got his start as a journalist working on his college newspaper in Pensacola, FL, writing outdoor travel feature articles and a performing arts column. He went on to work at the Pensacola News Journal--he left his job there to pursue a professional music career, but continued writing on a freelance basis, publishing travel articles in SAIL magazine, art-oriented articles in Dance Spirit, and several regional travel features for PLAY magazine, a special issue division of Northwest Florida Business Magazine.
Joshua lived exclusively in Pensacola, FL for 25 years, and in that time he traveled the Gulf Coast region extensively. In 2006, he spent two months traveling the exact region that this book covers--Pensacola to Everglades City--camping, paddling, boating and hiking his way through the highlights of Florida's Gulf Coast. An avid traveler, Joshua has journeyed all over the world--but he still considers the Gulf Coast home.
Joshua currently lives in Emerald Isle, NC.
