Down to the Beach by David Grant is a richly illustrated hardcover that invites readers into Australia’s sun-soaked coastal culture. Blending art, biography and local history, the 244-page volume charts the evolution of beach life around Melbourne and the storied Mentone Life Saving Club.

Grant’s narrative captures the rituals, fashion and social shifts that shaped Australia’s relationship with the shoreline. Archival photos, ephemera and crisp design make every spread a visual treat for history buffs and beach lovers alike.

The 2010 first edition arrives with its original dust jacket, showing only light shelf wear. Pages are clean, binding tight, and the book comes from a smoke-free home—ready for display or reading.

Ideal for young adults and adults curious about Australian history, surf lifesaving heritage, or Melbourne’s bayside suburbs, this collectible title adds Down to the Beach and David Grant to any true-story, art-and-culture shelf.
