Guess you haven't traveled much! No, they're not, there isn't any good waves!

Hilton head and FL have the beaches on the east coast hands down.


Cape Cod beaches are the prettiest IMHO, but the water is a little too cool for me and I hear about too many sharks.. My favorite east coast beaches are on Cape Hatteras.

It is a go once or twice location, not a return to annually destination.

Op here. Oddly, I absolutely loved Martha’s Vineyard FWIW. I enjoyed MV more than Nantucket and Cape Cod.

It’s…Rhode Island, what do you expect lol?

Reminds me of that Wayne’s world quote…”I’m in….Delaware.”

Hmm. Not sure I'd say that though.


Definitely not if you prefer Myrtle Beach.

It is one of my favorite places in the US but I love mansions, gardens, history, beaches, and sailing.

Quaint towns, low crowds, walk to beaches, excellent seafood with coastal views - love it.
