For decades, Martin Parr has captured beach culture as a vivid and often humorous stage of everyday life. Life’s a Beach presents a global view of seaside experiences, from eccentric sunbathers to spontaneous moments of leisure.

Building on his iconic work, Parr highlights the humour of crowded beaches, cultural differences in how we relax, and the universal rituals of tourism and escape. With bold colours and candid shots, the book blends nostalgia with a sharp look at modern leisure culture.
