 As
far as I am concerned, the best beaches/beach towns
on the East Coast have a number of qualities...
It's more a feeling than anything
really objective. Now, with that in mind...

My Top 5
Favorite Beaches (Generally Speaking)
-
North Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina
-
Emerald Isle, North Carolina
-
Topsail Island, North
Carolina
-
New Smyrna Beach, Florida
-
Kill Devil Hills, North
Carolina

The Best
Beach Close to Attractions:
Hands down - New Smyrna
Beach, Florida. Located just an hour
away from Disney World, NASA, and hundreds
of attractions in Central and East Florida,
you can't beat staying in New Smyrna Beach.
The sands are gorgeous, the weather positively
balmy and the town is small enough to be
accessible and friendly without too much
commercialization.

The Best
Beaches for "I don't want to go anywhere
but lie on the sand and soak up the sun
and spend time with my family":
Ok, you want remote and small
town. Good local food, friendly people?
Not too much commercialization... not much
of anything... just sun and sand? Topsail
Island or Emerald Isle is your choice
then!
|
The widest
beach with calm waters for kids:
North Myrtle Beach
has a gorgeous wide expanse of beach. Stay
in the Cherry Grove Section for the best
beach!

|
Lighthouses,
wild horses, breath-taking drives:
Outer Banks, North Carolina.
The Outer Banks has 6 lighthouses dotting
the length of the Banks, wild horses in
some areas (you need 4 wheel drive to access
the beach in some areas) and a breath-taking
drive down the coast!
