Beach Bum: A Life Spent Chasing the Sun

Escape to sun-drenched shores with Beach Bum, a transportive collection of coastal photography, travel stories, and saltwater memories by John and Whitney Annetti.

More than a beautiful beach book, Beach Bum chronicles Johnny Vacay founder John Annetti’s 15-year journey photographing coastal life and building a brand inspired by freedom, creativity, and life near the water.

Across 346 beautifully presented pages, sun-faded photographs capture iconic beach destinations, open horizons, vintage surf culture, and the relaxed rhythm of seaside living. Every page feels like an invitation to slow down, wander farther, and plan your next escape.
