Each guidebook follows a similar approach:
Initial chapters introduce local jump-off locations (Seward and Whittier), local resources for getting out on the coast, and background information on land ownership, geology, wildlife, and human endeavors.
The book's second half describes the coastline in detail, highlighting scenic destinations, vessel anchorages, and reliable kayak landing and camping locations. The books also provide a wealth of navigation tips useful when exploring unfamiliar coves, bays, tidal lagoons, moraine sills, and tidewater glacial basins. Appendicies provide additional details about local birds, mammals, and plants. Each book includes a comprehensive index.
