Neil McGuinness owner of the Jacksonville First Coast office of Murphy Business and Financial Services, which specializes in mergers and acquisitions and business brokerage, recently took his vast knowledge and experience within his community and the communities around him to create a driving and walking tour book called “The Beaches.”

As a local businessman and former owner of the River Queen paddlewheel riverboat, which plied the St. Johns River, Neil first researched the history of the Jacksonville area to develop the narrated tours for his riverboat.

The book has been acknowledged by Dr. Wayne W. Wood noted author, speaker, artist and historian. “The Beaches: A History and Tour is perhaps the most comprehensive book ever written about the Jacksonville Beaches, taking us on a historic journey all the way from Vilano Beach to Fort George Island.”

Read a review by the Ponte Vedra Recorder.
