Hey – do you want to go on a road trip? I think I speak not only for all native East Coasters like myself but for many travelers from all over the United States and the globe when I declare that the East Coast (of the United States) is awesome for many reasons. Best of all, it offers many incredible, memorable, and exciting opportunities for road trips.
As you surely know, the eastern part of our nation was developed and heavily populated early on in history. This was due to the vast number of settlers, immigrants, and enslaved people who arrived across the ocean from Europe and Africa between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries.
As a result, this concentrated population on the East Coast has developed a rich history and deep-rooted culture. Connected by an extensive network of highways and roads, the villages, towns, and cities are complemented by inherent and varied natural beauty.
You can’t go wrong with an East Coast road trip. Whether you want to drive around New England, the mid-Atlantic states, or the South, you’re sure to figure out that there’s no better place for a road trip.
But… how do you decide where to go? We know that the people who know destinations best are people who travel, so we polled our readers on Facebook to narrow down the choices.
