10 Essential Stops Along the Southeastern Coast by The Discoverer Blog


California and New England often play starring roles in scenic coastal road trips, but the Southeastern Coast shouldn’t be relegated to a supporting role. Road tripping through the coastal towns and cities that litter the seaboard from Maryland to Florida offers an entirely different experience. Along the way you'll find undulating white sand dunes, expansive beaches, and warm water most of the year. When you add in Southern hospitality and tantalizing cuisine, you’re in for a memorable trip.


You can go any time of year, but some attractions and activities close during winter. Summers are jam-packed, so aim for spring or fall if you want to avoid crowds. Here are 10 stops you shouldn’t miss on the approximate 1,000-mile-long journey along the Southeastern Coast.
