Coast

Coast Magazine is a perfect read for anyone who lives or dreams of living by the sea or who have a particular fondness for the many and varying aspects of the British coastline, both natural and man-made. Coast Magazine offers its readers escapism - the chance to dream about living by the sea by showing them the homes of those who already do so. It caters for those with nostalgia for the seaside. It appeals to the British love of the sea and gives readers a renewed appreciation of what it means to be an island nation.
