We are looking for a drivable destination for a week long vacation this summer. Only requirements are that it doesn't go any further south than NC and Maine is too far north. I would also prefer a beach location. If you have a favorite hotel/b&b/rental include that too! Thanks ladies
Re: Need vacation suggestions for this summer (east coast only)
this exactly! Bald Head is gorgeous and it feels really private.
I've been to the Outer Banks and I lived in VA Beach. They're great beaches, in their own respects, and it depends on what you're looking for.
IMO in Virginia Beach there's a lot more to do with the boardwalk, restaurants, playgrounds on the beach, etc.
IMO in the Outer Banks it's quieter. There didn't seem to be as much going on, there were some really great restaurants, but, not knowing the area, we kind of had to hunt them down.
Also, I think Ocean City is nice, but I'd rather go to Virginia Beach.
Cape May
Cape Cod
Newport, RI
Rehoboth Beach, DE
Mystic, CT...not on the beach but only 20 min away from Misquamicut in RI. Lots to do with aquarium, seaport, shopping, casinos

Sea Isle is nice. We also like Ocean City, which is great for kids!
