Coastal Living Print Magazine

First of all, my old subscription was transferred to Country Living and I was so disappointed because I thought Coastal Living was stopping publication completely. I was wrong, thankfully. They are publishing 4 (four) times a year now and it is definitely worth the wait. The paper that they have chosen for the new magazine has a heavier hand and is not the average slick paper that all other magazines use. This paper is thick, soft to the touch and is attractive to flip through.The images are stunning and the quality of the content is stellar. I have always loved my Coastal Living subscriptions and I will continue to subscribe.

I Love the information & pictures for sure.

I've always love this magazine, but I'm disappointed that they ran the same article two years apart. I just happened to find an old copy from October 2018 and discovered the article titled "California's New Gold Coast" (page 48), which I had just read in the Fall 2020 issue (page 50). There was no notation in the 2020 issue saying that the article was previously seen in an earlier issue. That is questionable behavior, especially considering this magazine is expensive. All it would have taken was a notation saying that it was run before. Not noting it seems like they are hoping no one notices they are recycling articles. Otherwise, it has interesting articles and beautiful photos.

Love it. I've never lived along a coast, and chances are extremely good that I won't have that opportunity in this lifetime. So reading each issue is like taking a mini-vacation, and imaging I'm there. I love the colors of nature and the traditional colors used in coastal decor - pinks, corals, turquoise, sand, cream/white, tropical greens, the blues of water - and so I also enjoy the decorating ideas for creating a coastal oasis at home. Also included are things to see, good food, and often a home or room makeover (I've only received a few issues so far, so I'm not sure if it's a monthly thing). Various coastal lifestyles are covered, including New England, Outer Banks, Florida, and Hawaii. It's lovely to page through each issue and daydream.

Ordered and received first issue in less than two weeks.Enjoyable light read or just flip and look at the pictures to get ideas on what to do with your bungalow or key west inspired beach house.

This magazine is a yearly gift from a relative, who is able to get it at a greatly reduced rate. It is filled with beautiful photos and yes, lots of ads.I enjoy browsing through this each month but the content seems to be geared for the ADD generation - everything seems to be in brief snippets of information or in photo captions - very little substantive content.I also wish there were more features on coastal areas that are NOT typical beach destinations, like coastal New England, the Pacific Northwest or the Canadian Maritimes. Not everyone who likes living by the water dreams of California or Florida (or Charleston, S.C..... you get the idea).But overall a decent magazine with beautiful photography for mindless reading....

I got this because I love the coastal home decor look. After almost a year of getting this magazine, it's getting boring. There is only so much white, blue, green, navy decorating ideas and starfish adorned decorative pillows. I feel like I'm looking at the same thing over and over. Also not all of the pages are focused on coastal decor. There is plenty of "Living" in the mag with a variety on coastal fashion, beauty products, lifestyle products, eating/recipes, travel destination reviews, and features on celebrity beach homes that takes up 1/3 to 1/2 of the mag sometimes, which I do not enjoy. It's an OK mag. Definitely not one I relish getting every month. Some months are better than others though. Still deciding if I want to keep the subscription after my one year is up.

No matter where I am, this magazine transports me to the most beautiful beaches of the planet! I always look forward to seeing it on my mailbox!
