The East Coast, known for its historic charm and beautiful beaches, boasts famous destinations such as the Hamptons, Cape Cod, and Myrtle Beach. Here, travelers can indulge in fresh seafood, visit quaint coastal towns, and engage in classic summer activities like sailing and beach volleyball. On the other hand, the West Coast is synonymous with laid-back vibes and iconic landmarks. From the stunning beaches of California, such as Malibu and Santa Monica, to the breathtaking landscapes of Oregon and Washington, there's no shortage of outdoor adventures. Activities like surfing, hiking in national parks, and enjoying vibrant city life in places like San Francisco and Los Angeles make it a sought-after destination for those looking to soak up the sun. Ultimately, choosing between the East and West Coast depends on what you're seeking for your summer experience. Whether it's cultural festivals, natural beauty, or nightlife, both coasts have something special to offer. Embrace the summer spirit by exploring what each coast has to provide and make unforgettable memories this season!

Summer travel for my east coast girlies 🌸
1. Savannah and Tybee Island are amazing for a historical artistic town plus a beach town only 20 minutes away. 2. Gatlinburg and the second image is more specifically Cades Cove . If you wanna see nature but you’re not a hiker like me then drive cades cove loop early in the morning.
