EAST COAST TRAVEL HIGHLIGHTS

Amanda Walkins, co-owner of Hey! East Coast USA takes a selfie on the beach on Cape Cod

CAPE COD

Born and raised in MA, the Cape is (obviously) a slice of paradise. Visit in the off-season for serene, beautiful beaches and zero traffic. Thank me later!

WASHINGTON DC

Free Smithsonian museums, beautiful parks, and iconic government buildings, memorials, & monuments make DC popular. But there is so much more to love about this city!

WINERIES

You may not think of wineries when you think of the East Coast, but you should! Northern VA and the Finger Lakes are both lovely wine regions to taste your way through.
