East Coast Vacations

This is the THEME PAGE of the site and is general in nature, giving a nice over view.

PLEASE SEE THE INDEX AT THE LEFT AND CLICK FOR INFORMATION AND DETAILS
ON A SPECIFIC EASTCOAST VACATION SITE.

Also note the "give aways" on this page further down.  

East Coast Vacations offer the individual, couple, or entire family an infinte variety of vacation experiences in a wide range of climates and environments. Your Eastcoast vacation can be enjoyed in a four season environment in New England and walking the beaches of Cape Cod four seasons a year, staying in rustic cabins or luxury vacation condos. Cape Cod Vacations offer a true wide variety of experiences and being northernmost of our list, this is why we start here. One can study history, go fishing, visit a wide variety of beaches  (preferably in the summer). Or  you can essentially be in tropics year round at Key West.

Moving just a little bit south, New Jersey vacation potenial is also endless and ranges from exciting casino vacations which is probably not a typical eastcoast vacation, to again beach vacations in quaint cottages just blocks from the beach, to luxury condos beachside. The ocean dominates New Jersey vacations, but Atlantic City nightlife and casinos offer many attractions. One can book   their New Jersey vacation easily online with many online vacation booking firms. Going further south are Myrtle Beach Vacations and our site started out just talking about this as one of our favorite areas.  How can you not just love Myrlte Beach Golf! But  we are getting ahead of ourselves.

Skipping down the coast, one comes to the ever popular east coast vacation area of Virginia Beach. If one is willing to venture inland just a little bit,  we could include historic Williamsburg which is rich in colonial history, and also offers a  wide variety of lodging, particularly timeshare condos. These time share units are often available for rent to non owners and many are adjacent to golf courses. Within a few minutes drive of both Virginia Beach and Williamsburg lies the Busch Gardens theme park which is full of fun for kids of all ages eight to eighty. In fact, we recommend making a Williamsburg timeshare the center of your vacation here because you can tour Williamsburg, have easy access to the Virginia Beach Beaches, and then also spend a day at historic Jamestown, and then yet another touring the naval facilities and harbor at Norfolk. Here you can visit and get on one of the few battleships and see naval ships ranging from cargo to aircraft carriers.

If you really want to stretch the East Coast vacation definition, you could include Monticello in a few hours drive to Richmond, and many of the resorts offer daytrips to D.C.

Now we skip down the coast a bit more, but there are vacation resorts, cabins, and individual gems all along and these range from pricey private islands to quaint beach cabins with wrap around porches. But we'll stick to the better known destinations, and as we go south, east coast golf begins to dominate with the well known Myrtle Beach. MyrtleBeach and adjacent towns such as Calabash, North Myrle are some of our favorites and golf can be enjoyed nearly year round. Spring and fall are the best seasons as winter can be cold and wet and summer oppresingly hot. The Myrtle Beach boardwalk and large shopping and amusement center dominates this area, and plenty of air conditioning is avaialble in the major attractions which include the Ripley Believe it Or Not Museum and a national aquarium. Golf Vacation Specialists can arrange complete packages with  tee times, carts, and even other players, and golf discounts are available on line and off line. It's also a good place to shop for your golf clothing and golf  togs; golf accessories, and even a golf cart to be delivered back to your home course.. all because of the heavy competition.

Of course Myrtle beach is great for its swimwear shops and bathing suit deals, as well as beach toys like umnbrellsas.

Staying in the Eastern Coast, we also can go south to Kitty Hawk where the wright  brothers flew, and we can participate in major kite flying.

An EastCoast Vacation can Be full of History in Charleston, SC and Savannah

We don't mean to omit Charleston and Savannah, and we've had a great vacation at Kiawah Island just south of Charleston. Here fantastic tours of old Southern Mansions compete with again golf. And of course, this is the heart of some of the best plantation touring in the country. You can see the history where the national anthem was inspired. Try to avoid July and August if possible due to heat. You can reserve single family Kiawah homes as well as condos and appartments, both beach side and within a few hundred yards. Don't look for a boardwalk or nitelife here however. This is the place to go for quiet and romantic beachside walks at nite and privacy.

Passing through Savannah we come to Jacksonville, and again, many opportunities. We like to stay at Amelia Island, and recommend it. Book ahead for your Amelia experience. Then press on down I-95, driving very carefully, and ideally being there in late April or early May, beating both the heat and the hurricane season. You have endless choices. Your author lives in Melbourne and we suggest not only the beaches here, but plan your vacation during one of the space launches. The shuttle is the cream of the crop to watch, but with only two ships flying, the opportunities are far and few between. But there are nearly monthly launches of space craft carrying satelliltes and other research. Take a day and tour the NASA space facilities there.

  Of   course if you are a NASCAR fan or ride a Harley, you know we skipped over Daytona Beach which features in March the stock car championship Daytona 500 and you can book your rooms and condos with the Daytona Beach tourism office online; You may want to approach  bike week a little more cautiously unless you yourself are a "biker".

We're nearing the end of our East Coast major vacation sites, but would have you first stop at West Palm Beach  and tour the area and see how some of the millioniares live. Plan for a Sunday Brunch at the Breakers.. a once in a lifetime experience at $60+ per person but worth it. Take a nice evening to walk around Citi Place and take the horse drawn  tour of the area after dark.  Then get up and drive on down to Miami.

Miami is like no other city anywhere! It would take a whole nother web site to describe it. Maybe we will .. on anothe web site.. Miami Vacations.

Lastly.. let's finish our EastCoast Vacation with an over ocean drive to Key West. Hemminway, the old man and the sea, quaint towns, etc. But in season be sure to pre-reserve your accommodations. There's not that many open vacancies and it's a long drive back if you don't have any place to stay except your car.

Hopefully this verbal tour has opened your eyes to some of the possibilities! Enjoy
