It gives readers the relaxed feeling and sense of renewal that you can get only at the beach. By providing the escape route, Coastal Living helps break the routine of everyday life. Its readers are young adventurers, savvy travelers, creative homeowners, everyday gourmets, aspiring beach dwellers, affluent boomers, and coastal connoisseurs. What You Can Expect in Each Issue: CURRENTS: Each issue opens with an "I want to be there" beach image along with a Top 10 List. The section continues with 1- or 2-page articles of decorating ideas, products, shops, and beach beauty. One of the new favorite columns is "What's in Your Beach Bag?" where a famous, semi-famous, or quirky beach personality tells us his/her must-haves for a day at the shore. HAVENS is the homes and gardens section, featuring aspirational and practical ideas for beach-chic decor, design, architecture, and landscape. Columns include Signature Style, Shack to Chic, Natural Beauty, ECO-tecture, Seaside Style, and Creative Outlet. The R&R section is a resource for anyone who's beach bound, and a voyeuristic escape for everyone else. With columns such as Hideaways, Waterfront Weekend, Dive In, and ECO-trip, Coastal Living provides readers with a variety of vacation options, from relaxing spa vacations to environmental adventures to family-friendly resorts. COASTAL KITCHEN gives readers ideas and inspiration for weeknight seafood suppers, casual get-togethers, and the lowdown on coastal cuisine—including restaurants and chefs from all U.S. shores and the Caribbean. Columns include Fresh Catch, Local Flavor, Dinner in a Breeze, and Toast of the Coast. Feature Articles: Features showcase the best of Coastal Living, including all of the content pillars. Recent examples include an artist cottage in Key West, Florida; a coastal community in Northern California built in the '70s that was 'green' before green became mainstream; the annual Best Seafood Dives roundup—a guide to the best in local casual fare on all coasts. The Marshall garden in Maine proved that if you can grow gorgeous flowers on these rocky shores you can grow them anywhere, and the Upcountry Maui story provided a glimpse of the island that only locals know about: the lavender fields, flower farms, goat farms, and volcanoes off the beaten track. We get decorating advice from a Florida surfer with great style and a hip, laid-back vibe , and readers learn how to throw a summer supper—lobster for 4 or 40—with all the tabletop accessories, wine recommendations, how-tos, and side dishes included.
