COASTE | EDITOR’S WELCOME
It’s more than a lifestyle. It’s a soul style. Welcome to the April-May edition of COASTE. We hope you’re just as excited to receive it as we are to bring it to you. A lot of people certainly were excited about our premier issue this February-March. The overwhelming response we received from both readers and advertisers — including a business leader who called it “the most beautiful and well done magazine he’s seen in 30 years living here” — were enough to almost make us blush. We thank you for the enthusiasm, and we look forward to rocking your world each issue with Southwest Florida’s newest and most compelling multimedia magazine. This issue, we’re touching on a variety of Southwest Florida’s top love affairs: beaches, baseball and art. So, travel with us behind the scenes as we explore spring training, Lee County style. Stick your toes in the sand and learn what our very own “Doc Beach” is doing to raise awareness of and passion toward water quality. And before you haul that trash to the junk yard, take another look at it — you might just see a work of art, as our current artist in residence often does. Plus a lot more. And don’t forget, you can enjoy your COASTE any way you like it. At your desktop computer. On your iPad or tablet. On your smart phone. Or in your hands via newsstands all over. And don’t forget: COASTE is ALWAYS FREE.
COASTE. Living here, or visiting. It’s more than a lifestyle. It’s a soul style.
