At The Beach: The Great New Zealand Holiday

Hodder & Stoughton, 1993. Spine faded.

At the Beach is a foray into many aspects of New Zealanders' relationship with the beach, from the first tentative dips into the breakers and the evolution of swimming costumes, to holidays under canvas and in baches, to surf-lifesaving and the seaside picnic, beachcombing and messing about in boats.
