[quote=Anonymous]Define easy drive?

Ex-DC, now live in the Raleigh area. You aren't going to get anything remotely resembling beach weather at NC/SC beaches - it could be anywhere from 45 to 75 and could be rainy or windy as heck. It is a total crapshoot that time of year.  (Also, OBX is a good 4-5 hours from the Triangle as well.)

I would drive the ~4 hours to Charleston or ~5 to Savannah and do a fun little city break. More to do in Charleston, esp with kiddo, but Savannah is perfect for a short break and does have some kid friendly stuff as well.  Kiawah is also a really nice compromise - we've done it a couple times for a low key SB and while you won't get to swim, it's a nice resort and you can day trip into Charleston.  If you're determined to do a beach-only destination, HHI has enough other activities (golf, tennis, biking, shopping) that you could probably keep busy. But you're not going to get proper beach weather much north of Naples TBH.

I also wouldn't do Biltmore / Asheville bc the weather is too much of a crapshoot and you will want to hike if you're there. [/quote]
