When will the subscription start?

You can start a subscription (Premium Subscription, Print+Digital Subscription, or Digital-Only Subscription) any time of the year. Premium Subscriptions start immediately with the latest issue. Depending when you place your order, it might take 4-8 weeks before the first Print+Digital Subscription magazine is mailed out and you get the email for the first Digital Subscription, as the mailing list must be sent to the printer several weeks before mailing and we mail every eight weeks. Visit our Frequently Asked Questions page for order and renewal cutoff dates.

Can't wait for the first issue? Choose a Premium Subscription, buy current and back issues in the Beachcombing shop, or contact one of the retail shops that carry the magazine.
