The Best Guides to East Coast Travel
West Coast is the best coast?! Wrong! The east is where it at, but I might be biased: I grew up road tripping up and down route 95. In fact, I’ve driven from Maine to Florida more than a few times! But now I fly to my favorite states to enjoy the spoils of all they have to offer.




From the historic cobblestone streets of the North to the sun-drenched tropical shores of the South, the East Coast has an incredible variety of landscapes and local flavors. Here’s my curated collection of personal, practicable, and FUN guides below to help you navigate every mile of your next Atlantic adventure!
