YOLO Journal Summer Issue 22

Pre-order now! Summer issue orders will start going out mid-June.

Summer 2026 is our first-ever Coastal Issue. We all know the restorative pull of a beach holiday spent exploring hidden coves and tidal pools, collecting shells, watching the light shift across the water. We begin in the Mediterranean, of course: a dreamy family retreat in Zakynthos, the Crusoe-esque wilds of Corsica, and the grittier rhythms of Sète, a port city near Spain. But we wanted to wander further afield, too—to less expected coastal fantasies: dhow sailing in Mozambique, the quirky and moody English seaside, the frigid coves of Midcoast Maine, the stark volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote. The destinations couldn’t be more different, yet each captures the ocean’s strange, primordial hold—told through immersive images of aquamarine water and the sunstruck colors of summer: suits, umbrellas, surfboards glinting in the sun.
