How Coast List works

1. We gather ratings and public signals as evidence — not as the answer.
2. We edit. Weak consensus gets cut. Strong places get ranked for real-world fit: worth the trip, worth the wait, worth the money.
3. You get one free pick on This week, with a short “why it ranks.”
4. Subscribers unlock the full lists: Go ($5) or Full ($10) after a $1 first month.

We don’t dump directories. We publish a recommendation you’d actually use.
