I'm the founder of Explore Carolina Beaches (explorecarolinabeaches.com), an independent coastal travel media brand covering the full stretch of the North and South Carolina coastline from the Outer Banks to the Lowcountry. I cover destination travel, coastal wildlife and conservation, beach safety, fishing and watersports, family beach vacations, vacation rental trends, and the local culture that defines this coast. My coverage spans both North and South Carolina, with deep editorial focus on the Outer Banks, Crystal Coast, Wilmington area, Brunswick Islands, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, and Hilton Head. I'm available for comment, on-record quotes, and expert sourcing on all things Carolina coast.
