With 10 issues published each year, Coastal Living introduces readers to homes, destinations, activities, and people along the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf shores of North America. Hawaii, Alaska, coastal Canada and Mexico, as well as the multi-national Caribbean islands and U.S. Great Lakes, are included in its scope. The magazine offers decorating ideas that bring a breath of the shore inside your home; local color from your favorite waterfront communities; dream destinations; tempting seafood and other recipes; the best in coastal news, products, and events; and much more.

Coastal Living is doing a lot more product coverage for their "get the look pages" and would love to see new lines coming out of design center markets and trade shows. They cover projects with a broadened stylistic diversity, in the U.S. and abroad--particularly the Caribbean and Hawaii.
