Miles from shore and deep beneath the ocean’s surface, the water is silent and crystalline. With descent, the sea grows darker and more mysterious, fathoms below where sunlight filters faintly from above. Suspended between two worlds, divers glide effortlessly, their long fins cutting cleanly through the water as they leave behind the oxygen-rich surface, slipping into the deep with the stealth of a pelagic predator.

Brandon West and Ren Chapman have honed the crafts of bluewater spearfishing and freediving, trading noisy air tanks and bubbles for the stillness of the deep sea in pursuit of its largest—and tastiest — inhabitants off North Carolina’s Crystal Coast. This is the realm of wahoo, mahi, grouper, and giant red snapper — curious species that rise from more than 200 feet below to investigate the strange visitors entering their domain.

“When Wilmington Island, Georgia, artist strolls the sandy shores of nearby Tybee Island, where she grew up, the world is her oyster; the possibilities of the second life she’ll soon give the oyster shells she plucks off the sand are limited only by her imagination. And the unique inherent beauty of every shell fuels her creative vision.”

In the Summer issue, we wander slowly and thoughtfully along South Carolina’s Hammock Coast—a region rich in heritage and alive with renewal. History isn’t just preserved here; it pulses through the streets of centuries-old Georgetown and the salt-kissed breezes of Pawleys Island.

These communities are in the midst of a renaissance. Homeowners care for grand 18th-century homes, preserving them for future generations. On Front Street, a beloved restaurant reopens under new stewardship, blending family tradition with fresh culinary vision.

For the Summer issue of Magnolia and Moonshine, we’re diving into one of the South’s most beloved traditions—summer camp! Having just picked up our girls from camp, we’re feeling a little sentimental ourselves… remembering our own days in cabins, canoes, and campfire circles.
Take a look at these old photos from Camp Merrie-Woode, Seafarer, Sea Gull, and Rio Vista - four of the camps featured in this issue.

What camp did you grow up going to?
