Welcome to The Coastal Buzz
In a world where negativity often dominates the headlines, The Coastal Buzz is here to change the narrative. We’re your go-to source for positive news, inspiring stories, and uplifting community highlights in the Metro Savannah area.
We believe good news deserves to be heard. Our mission is simple: to shine a light on the people, businesses, and events that make our community thrive. The Coastal Buzz is more than just a news platform—it’s a movement dedicated to connection, inspiration, and growth.
Why We Started The Coastal Buzz
Our journey in media isn’t new. Over the years, we’ve run several online publications, including a local newspaper. But after stepping away for a while, we realized something was missing—there wasn’t a platform dedicated solely to good news in Savannah.
We knew it was time to get back in the game. This time, with a focus on positivity, inspiration, and community-driven storytelling. The Coastal Buzz was born out of a desire to create something meaningful, something that brings people together and makes an impact.
What We Do
We curate and share stories that celebrate success, highlight community initiatives, and showcase the positive efforts shaping our region. Whether it’s an inspiring entrepreneur, a local nonprofit making a difference, or an exciting event, The Coastal Buzz is here to amplify what’s worth celebrating.
✅ Spotlighting Local Businesses – Showcasing the people and companies driving economic growth.
✅ Covering Community News – Sharing stories that highlight the heart and soul of Savannah.
✅ Bringing You Inspiring Interviews – Featuring conversations with entrepreneurs, creatives, and changemakers.
✅ Keeping You Informed About Local Events – Helping you stay connected with what’s happening.
✅ Spreading Positivity – Because good news deserves to be heard!
We also work with PR firms, businesses, and organizations to ensure their stories reach the right audience, amplifying their impact.
Meet the Founders
We’re Chris and Sandy Benton—a husband-and-wife duo with a passion for storytelling and community connection.
Chris has called Savannah home since the age of 14. Coming from a military family, he lived in multiple places before his father retired, making Savannah the most stable and meaningful place in his life.
Sandy, originally from Fedscreek, Kentucky, moved to Savannah when we married on October 5, 2002. Together, we’ve built a life rooted in faith, family, and a deep love for our community.
Married for over 22 years, we’re also proud parents to a 13-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter.
Our faith and love for storytelling have guided us through various ventures, from podcasting to media, and now, into building The Coastal Buzz—a platform designed to uplift and inspire.
Why It Matters
We live in a world flooded with negativity, but we believe in a different approach. Positive storytelling has the power to bring people together, create opportunities, and foster a stronger sense of community.
By focusing on what’s good, what’s growing, and what’s worth celebrating, The Coastal Buzz is building something bigger than just a website—it’s a movement dedicated to highlighting the best of Savannah and beyond.
Looking Ahead
We’re just getting started. As The Coastal Buzz grows, we’re committed to expanding our coverage, introducing new storytelling formats, and featuring even more local voices.
Our vision is to become the leading source of positive news in Metro Savannah—a platform that not only informs but also inspires and connects people in meaningful ways.
