East Coast Vacation Ideas
Summer in the eastern United States offers a multitude of travel options, from scenic coastlines to vibrant cityscapes. For beach lovers, the Outer Banks in North Carolina offers great beaches,
interesting seaside towns, and opportunities for kite flying and dolphin spotting. If mountain adventures call your name, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, straddling Tennessee and North Carolina, provides breathtaking vistas, hiking trails, and historic cabins (plus an enormous number of "touristy"
spots in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg). For history and culture, nothing compares to a summertime stroll through Washington, D.C., where monuments and museums are designed to make every visit memorable. Whether you're looking for relaxation, adventure, or a mix of both, the eastern U.S. delivers unforgettable summer escapes..
