Beachcombing 2026 Calendar

Love It!

This is my "bathroom" calendar. My 3rd year I think. It's small so fits right in. I have 3 others throughout my home (calendars, one being Chihuahuas)!
I'll order every year.
Thank you, KS

Great Opportunity

As a new subscriber I loved that I could get last years issues. Only wish they would put the December issue for purchase sooner.

Had to buy issues that I never received from subscription

While in the process of moving, I did not receive 2 issues. Rather than re-sending them to me again, I was told I had to purchase them. Seems like double-dipping to me.

Overpriced

Nice enough looking, but small and overpriced.

Always a Highlight

I love receiving my Beach Combing magazine. It is always a joyful experience and I love the variety of articles. The wonderful photos let me dream of future sea glass finds and inspire my future travels. It is a well curated magazine with a wonderful community feel.

A life long obsession

As a child my mom and I would always walk the beach looking for beach glass. Her home and now mine have has jar’s and jars of beach glass. I bought an 8X11 print to use on the front of a notebook. It makes me smile every time I see it.
