Welcome to The Coastal Buzz
In a world often dominated by negativity and sensational headlines, The Coastal Buzz is here to change the narrative. We’re your go-to destination for positive news, inspiring stories, and uplifting community highlights from the Metro Savannah & Hilton Head areas.

Why We Started The Coastal Buzz
Our journey in media isn’t new. Over the years, we’ve run several online publications and local media projects, including a newspaper. But after stepping away for a while, we realized something was missing—a platform focused exclusively on positivity, inspiration, and community-driven storytelling for the Savannah and Hilton Head area.
We saw a need for a voice dedicated to uplifting our communities. This realization led to the creation of The Coastal Buzz—a space where local businesses, nonprofits, community events, and individual stories of hope and growth take center stage.

At The Coastal Buzz, we curate and share stories that celebrate success, highlight community initiatives, and showcase the positive efforts driving our region forward. Whether it’s an inspiring entrepreneur, a local nonprofit making a difference, or an exciting event, we are here to amplify what’s worth celebrating.
Here’s what we focus on:

Meet the Founders
We’re Chris and Sandy Benton, a husband-and-wife duo with a passion for storytelling, faith, and community connection.
Chris has called Savannah home since the age of 14, finding stability in the city after growing up in a military family. Sandy, originally from Fedscreek, Kentucky, moved to Savannah after marrying Chris in 2002. Together, we’ve built a life rooted in faith, family, and a deep love for our community.
Married for over 22 years and proud parents to a teenage son and a young daughter, we’ve always believed in the power of stories to bring people together. Whether through podcasting, media, or ministry, we’ve sought to help others find purpose and connection in their own stories. With The Coastal Buzz, we bring that passion and vision to the communities of Savannah & Hilton Head.
Why It Matters
We live in a world filled with negativity, but we believe in a different approach. Positive storytelling has the power to unite people, create opportunities, and strengthen the fabric of our communities.
By focusing on what’s good, what’s growing, and what’s worth celebrating, The Coastal Buzz isn’t just a platform—it’s a movement dedicated to sharing the best of Savannah & Hilton Head.
