Gift from the Sea is a book by Anne Morrow Lindbergh first published in 1955.

While on vacation on Florida's Captiva Island in the early 1950s, Lindbergh wrote the essay-style work by taking shells on the beach for inspiration and reflecting on the lives of Americans, particularly American women, in the mid-20th century.

She shares her meditations on youth and age, love and marriage, peace, solitude, and contentment during her visit.

Gift from the Sea has sold over 3 million copies and has been translated into 45 languages.
