Hello Friends, As the heat of summer wraps the coast in a golden glow, we’ re turning up the volume this August with a lineup as vibrant as a Taylor Hicks performance. Yes, we had the chance to sit down with Alabama’ s own American Idol winner, and he’ s sharing more than music this month. From stage lights to salt air, Taylor reminds us why the Gulf Coast inspires greatness.
Speaking of local flavor, this issue brings you libations and destinations worth savoring. Whether it’ s a Limoncello Spritz at The Galway, the smoky perfection of Hog Wild Pit Bar-B-Que, or an evening spent discovering local talent in“ Thou Art Behind the Canvas”, this month we invite you to dine and discover. Step inside the creative realm of Mary Ann Brechun, whose landscapes reveal a painter’ s connection to earth and spirit. Dr. Corbett returns with her latest in Uncorked, where skincare and self-care blend with sophistication. And for those wrestling with life’ s chaos, our Mind Over Mayhem feature reminds us that mental clarity is always within reach.
We also take you Beyond Measure, highlighting the meaningful impact of our community events, including the St. Jude Poker Run, the Freedom Run, and the Pirates Cove Autism Fundraiser. These are more than just good times, they’ re reminders of what matters most.
In this issue, we explore the road less taken, from Epic Escapes to Mile Marker moments in Coastal Living. Our travel feature whisks you away to Ecuador for Amazon Adventures and Chocolate Dreams, while Sky Walk and Bayside Elegance prove that paradise may be closer than you think. We also bring you the latest local election information, spotlighting the leadership that will shape our future. With Three Mayors and One Gulf Coast, the message is unity through vision, and we’ re proud to cover those seeking to make a difference.
At Splash, we celebrate the people, places, and passions that define the coast. Whether you ' re flipping pages from a beach chair or an air-conditioned nook, we hope this issue brings a wave of inspiration your way.
See you out there, Eva & Eddie Publishers, Splash The Magazine
