Beachcombing magazine is so beautiful! The September issue made me wish I was younger again, and able to scour my beach like I used to do. I enjoyed the article by Virginia Whitted about her UNEXPECTED ADVENTURE IN ICELAND.

So glad I subscribed!

Just started receiving my subscription and I love all of the information and detail that is included. Not only is it a great resource, but it is a very fun read. Well worth it.

Excellent!

Excellent magazine with helpful information!

Love Beachcombing!
