Big adventures
close to home
First issue coming Summer 2026!
Say hello to Tidelines, a children's magazine for the curious explorers of Massachusetts' North Shore.
Perfect for kids aged 4 to 10!
Local fun
Everything we do stems from the North Shore and helping children learn through their community. Our content is not only exciting but grounded in place-based learning.
Interactive
Our magazine is purposefully unfinished. It's up to our readers to make it their own. Tidelines is a field guide for children to explore the world around them.
Kid inspired
Why is it called Plum Island? Why does low tide stink? These are the hard-hitting questions kids are asking, and we have answers! Our ideas come straight from the community.
What to expect from Tidelines
- Stories from experts and from YOU
- Your drawings, creations, and insights
- Activities (word search, Hidden North Shore, puzzles, in-magazine board games)
- Interactive mysteries (can you solve the case of the North Shore Sea Serpent?)
- Interviews with kids
- Community activities to fill your weekend
- and more....
Our goal is to engage children with the North Shore’s history, institutions, and natural environments; spark curiosity; and empower them to find their own voice in the community.
We believe learning about the region and North Shore neighbors will help children find their own place in the community and equip them with the confidence to get more involved.
