Featuring works by some of Britain's best-loved photographers - Tony Ray-Jones, David Hurn, Martin Parr, and Simon Roberts - this book explores our changing relationship with the seaside over the last six decades and holds up a critical and affectionate mirror to a much-loved and quintessentially British experience.

Published to accompany the 2018 National Maritime Museum exhibition The Great British Seaside: Photography from the 1960s to the Present, this book showcases over 100 photographs, including material from each of the photographers' archival collections, newly commissioned works, and never-before-seen images.
