boardwalk leading to the beach

Hello friend!

I was born and raised in New Orleans. I’ve always loved the beach, so my husband and I moved to the Emerald Coast of Florida—just weeks before the pandemic. Probably not the best time to move, but sometimes that’s how life works.
As a former television news producer, I’ve always loved sharing interesting stories and that’s what you’ll find here on Coastal Ali.
You’ll get a little slice of the beach life here, for sure, but also a melange of my other passions, including beautiful homes, photography, art and design, delicious recipes, and my lifelong love of all things French!
I hope you’ll find something here to make your day a little better, as well as the inspiration to live the beach life no matter where you find yourself. Remember, all you need is love and a beach sunset—and maybe a glass of vino… or two!
