Through the paintings and photographs of authors Joell Jones, Will Wright, and Cassidy Wright, this gift book looks at the nature and environment of Fripp Island, off the coast of North Carolina near Beaufort. The images and musings span more than two decades of visits to a coastal vacation spot that mirrors the process of leisure development in natural settings all over the world. In it we see and read about many aspects of nature, including the loggerhead turtles that once hatched freely on Fripp’s beaches.
