The visual feast that is Dorset is enjoyed by millions - visitors and locals alike. But few are lucky enough to enjoy the Jurassic coastline 'from the outside looking in.'
This book has been photographed entirely from the sea by sailor and marine photographer Steve Belasco who has cruised the area in small boats for over 20 years.
Steve's love of Dorset's waters, those who enjoy them and the people and creatures that depend on them, leaps from every page.
Enjoy the majesty of West Dorset's sandstone cliffs glowing orange at sunset, the 18 miles of Chesil Beach pebbles, features you'll recognise from TV's Broadchurch, and the harsh beauty of Portland, source of the stone that built London.
Cruise across Weymouth Bay with its myriad water users, from jetskiers to 100,000-tonne tankers (not to mention the dolphins).
In Purbeck, appreciate outside views of famous Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, the shale cliffs around Kimmeridge and the quarries beyond St Alban's Head.
Finally, get up close and personal with Old Harry and his family, the stunning chalk stacks that form the easternmost, and youngest, stretch of the Jurassic Coast. Large format edition.
