Elegant Island Living has firmly established itself as an exclusive must-read publication for anyone living or interested in Golden Isles and South Coastal Georgia region. We love seeing the issues our readers proudly display on cocktail tables and getting requests for copies to hand out to visitors, conference participants, and wedding parties. We’re thrilled to hear you saved copies for with your favorite recipes we shared, or that your family has collected every issue as part of a years-old tradition. But even more than producing a magazine and website that beautifully capture and reflect the spirit of St. Simons Island and the surrounding area, we’re proud to have our thumb on the pulse of this community. We have grown and adapted to meet the needs of our readers and advertisers, finding ways to keep the community informed on a more immediate basis and effectively promote our advertisers’ sales, restaurant specials, and pop-up fundraisers and non-profit events at a moment’s notice.

And don’t forget we have separate dedicated social media accounts for I’m With the Band (@imwiththebandssi) to keep up with the Golden Isles live music scene and updated listings for who’s playing where and when. We are active on these accounts daily posting content from our issues, sharing photos of our beautiful surroundings, covering non-profit and community events, and promoting our advertisers’ products, services. and sales. and have even added shopping and subscription purchase options. With more than 16,000 followers on Facebook, and 13,000 followers on Instagram, and a rapidly growing organic following on Threads, our goal is to always be in touch and in tune with what’s going on in our community. This is how we get our story ideas and the info we need to spread the word about important events and other happenings.
