When we think of great American road trips packed with sights and entertainment, a lot of us tend to look to more remote or rural areas of the country. A lot of people fantasize about full cross-country trips, of course. But there are also appealing visions of touring Pacific highways, rolling through national parks, or even simply journeying through the heartland stopping at legendary restaurants and bizarre roadside attractions.
The East Coast doesn’t always get as much attention, in part because it seems more like a collection of cities than a stretch of highway to be enjoyed. That’s fair enough. But if you’re looking to get some real fun out of a road trip this summer, you might want to give some real thought to a route like Massachusetts to North Carolina. Why? Because you can start and end at famous beaches and hit a lot of entertaining spots along the way.
