The book cover shows a happy beach scene, with a white yacht out towards the horizon. The sky is blue, and the ocean has a variety of blue/aqua shades. A small wave laps against the shore. The beach is sandy and clear. The font of Beach Shorts is like handwriting, with a Sandthology in plain. They sit in white against the sky. Against the shoreline and sand are the words From the author of The Feminist EarthMother PartyGirl and Joni Page.
