Jul/Aug 2024 issue
26-PAGE DIGITAL SAMPLE: magazine.natgeotraveller.co.uk/jul24

The Jul/Aug issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK), looks beyond California’s vineyards and glacier-carved national parks to savour its tranquil coast, home to laid-back surf resorts and wave-lashed islands harbouring wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. In 2023, nearly 270 million people visited the Golden State, and with an additional 10 million visitors expected for 2024, travel shows no sign of slowing down.

Highlighting the free spirits bringing fresh sounds to the birthplace of US punk, the Los Angeles food truck owners sharing their heritage through street-side bites, the swimmers braving the waters of San Francisco Bay in the name of community — these are the Californians upholding the state’s reputation as a land of dreamers, innovators and diverse roots.

Also in this issue, the winning images are revealed in the National Geographic Traveller (UK) Photography Competition 2024.
