About SALT

A digital magazine born on the coast, written with salt in our veins.

Born on the Shore

SALT Magazine started in 2024 as a simple idea: Vancouver deserves a publication as beautiful and textured as its coastline. Founded by Ashley — writer, photographer, and lifelong ocean lover — SALT set out to tell the stories that make this city unlike anywhere else on earth.

From the hidden beaches of the North Shore to the bustling night markets of Richmond, from misty morning hikes on the Grouse Grind to late-night ramen in Chinatown — we cover it all. Every story is researched, written, and photographed by locals who know and love this place.

We believe great storytelling can deepen your connection to the place you call home. Whether you've lived here for decades or just arrived, SALT is your guide to the coast.

Our Values

Local First

Every story, recommendation, and guide comes from people who live here. We don't parachute in — we walk these streets, hike these trails, and eat at these restaurants every day.

Quality Writing

We take our time. Our features are thoroughly researched, beautifully written, and designed to be worth your attention in a world of clickbait and hot takes.

Community

SALT exists to celebrate the people, places, and culture that make Vancouver special. We amplify local voices and shine a light on the communities that define this city.
