LONDON (10 April 2025) 鈥In this issue of The Coastal Collection by National Geographic Traveller (UK), we鈥檝e taken our inspiration from the聽increasing demand for coastal adventures, spotlighting destinations that embrace the power of the ocean.聽According to the Office for National Statistics, demand for seaside thrills 鈥 from kayaking to coasteering 鈥 has skyrocketed by 75% since 2021.聽
The coast has always had a magnetic pull. It鈥檚 where we walk for clarity, swim to recharge, and linger at sunset, captivated by the horizon. But today鈥檚 travellers aren鈥檛 just dipping their toes in 鈥 they鈥檙e diving head-first into adventure.
The Coastal Collection by National Geographic Traveller (UK) takes readers to Vancouver Island, a place where the locals鈥 love of the ocean runs deep. Here, we explore one of the world鈥檚 most exhilarating new travel trends: storm-watching.
鈥淪torm season on Vancouver Island is nothing short of a spectacle,鈥 says editor Sacha Scoging. 鈥淎nd Tofino鈥檚 vast, driftwood-strewn beaches offer a front-row seat to one of Mother Nature鈥檚 greatest shows.鈥
鈥淏ut storm-watching tourism is just the beginning,鈥 she adds. 鈥淭his wild Canadian island is an ocean-lover鈥檚 dream, where you can cook with kelp, snorkel with salmon and watch grey whales on their epic migration.鈥
Beyond Canada, we hit the road in the Faroe Islands, following the Buttercup Routes to remote, wind-battered villages, and celebrate the bold revival of the UK鈥檚 beach towns.
Elsewhere in this issue:
- Discover how to make the most of the coast, from camping on deserted islands in Stockholm to searching for striped shore crabs in Oregon.聽聽
- Dive into the world鈥檚 most bizarre beachside events, including epic water fights in Thailand and extravagant fruit-laden parades in France.聽聽
All this, plus a roundup of the best hotels, resorts and retreats to inspire your next seaside escape. The coast is calling 鈥 are you in?
