Drink to This: Wonderful Wine Country and the Bourbon Trail
Many of us RVers like to have a good time as we travel — and sometimes that includes having a drink or two or a sip of something new as we learn about various beverages.
Winning Wine Regions
Most of us know about the famed Wine Country regions in California, and Oregon also has quite a reputation. Fewer travelers know about Washington state wine regions, many clustered in the southeastern corner of the state near Walla Walla and Prosser.

But the Midwest — yes, the Midwest — also is a great wine touring area. Led by the Traverse City area of Michigan, which is on the same parallel as Bordeaux in France, the Midwest boasts more than 20 different AVAs, or American Viticultural Areas. The shoreline of Lake Michigan has been dubbed the country’s “third coast,” with the lake offering early and late season protection for the vines. Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, and Merlot are among the varieties offered.
In addition, Indiana and Illinois have long histories of producing wines. They are each home to more than 100 wineries, as is Missouri, which actually received the first AVA designation in the country. Napa Valley came second. Ohio boasts nearly 300 wineries that produce mainly sweeter wines, some based on fruits other than grapes. And Wisconsin, known for its beers, also has a growing wine industry. You’ll even find some great wineries in Virginia (see photo above).

Look online for various wine-tasting trails that run throughout the region.
Spirited Beverages
But not all tasting trails feature wine, and many epicureans prefer something different. For spirits, look no further than Kentucky’s Bourbon Trail — the “Grandaddy” of spirits’ tasting trails. With 46 member distilleries across six regions, some planning is required, and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail website — kybourbontrail.com — offers a wealth of information. Craft distilleries formerly had their own trail, but now large and small distilleries are combined on one trail, with more distillers added yearly.

There’s a reason bourbon proliferates in this region. The origin of bourbon generally began with European settlers — especially those from Ireland and Scotland — bringing distilling knowledge to the region in the mid-1700s. The soil in what would become Kentucky was fertile, ideal for growing corn, and the limestone-filtered water was essential in the fermentation process.
While the exact origin of the name is debated, the first commercial distillery was established in 1783, and the whiskey gained national recognition by the mid-19th century. Key developments include the Bottled-in-Bond Act.

Thousands of distilleries followed — until Prohibition dealt a blow to legal sales, but gave rise to the bootleg trade. (Women reportedly were among the most successful bootleggers because many state laws forbade male police officers from searching women.) The resurgence began in 1933.
Bourbon today is a Distinct American Product as declared by Congressional Resolution in 1964. To be a bourbon, the spirit must be aged in a charred oak barrel, must contain at least 51 percent corn, cannot be distilled above 160 proof, cannot enter the barrel with more than 125 proof, and cannot enter the bottle with less than 80 proof.
But then the skill of each distillery master takes over, and the variables chosen – such as the water used, the char of the barrel, addition of other grain mixtures, and years of aging combine to create the final elixir that makes one bourbon stand apart from others.

2026 Will Be an Epic Year for Events — Mark Your Calendars Now
If you’re an RVer, you could inundate your travel itinerary with spectacular events as you motor across North America.
Indeed, every year brings us the College Football Championship, the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, March Madness, the Masters, the Kentucky Derby, the Indianapolis 500, and multiple major concerts, rodeos, and other special events — all held at famous venues across the continent.

But 2026 will add another level of excitement to the mix – with the FIFA World Cup coming to North America for the first time since 1994 — and the 250^th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Patriotic Celebrations
The United States of America turns 250 on July 4, 2026. To honor this significant milestone, celebrations across the nation generally will be larger than usual, with some extra days added on to the holiday since July 4 occurs on Saturday. So even though this event is eight months away, you should consider reserving an RV spot today so that you can camp near some of the events you plan to attend.

Many of the biggest celebrations to note will take place in historically significant cities such as Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. Washington, D.C., and its environs also will feature massive celebrations.
Events leading up to the Fourth shouldn’t be missed. Particularly worthy is Sails on the Potomac, a parade of Tall Ships in Alexandria, Virginia, on June 12-14. (Having seen the Tall Ships sail through the Golden Gate into San Francisco Bay, we can tell you, it is a sight worth seeing.) Alexandria will also host speakers, exhibitions, and art displays during its commemoration.

Philadelphia, birthplace of the nation, the city where the Declaration of Independence was signed, the home of the Liberty Bell, will pull out all stops with a larger-than-normal parade, a massive fireworks display, and a July 4 FIFA World Cup match.
Boston’s celebration will pay tribute to the city’s role in the early dissatisfaction of the colonists and actions that helped foment the American Revolution. Parades, museum openings, and fireworks are planned throughout Massachusetts, home of many of the country’s Founding Fathers.
The event calendar for July 4 in Washington, D.C., still is not finalized, but planners have indicated that a larger parade than usual will roll down Constitution Avenue. There will be a huge gathering on the National Mall, the Capitol Fourth concert, and an extensive fireworks display. Various D.C. websites will have updates as the schedule is finalized.

Super Soccer Events on U.S. Shores
One schedule that is finalized is that of the FIFA World Cup, which will be held in Canada, Mexico, and the United States from June 11 to July 19, 2026. Next year’s cup will feature an expanded format with 48 teams and 104 matches. The tournament will be co-hosted across 16 cities in the three countries. The first match will be held in Mexico City, and the final match will take place at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Qualification matches started in 2023 and will finish in March 2026, when the final slate of teams will be named. The U.S., Canada, and Mexico are automatically included as host countries.
Tickets are scarce and expensive, but tailgating outside venues should offer football/soccer fans a chance to loudly support their favorite team.
So get out your calendar and plan your adventure. Next year holds a lot of promise for events worth following.

Road Icon: Out of Africa
In 1979, 182 racers took to the starting line for the inaugural Paris-Dakar Rally, a grueling 6,200-plus-mile race on tarmac and off-road terrain, including vast stretches of the Sahara Desert. Of those competitors, 90 set off on motorcycles. They didn’t know it at the time, but the event would spark an arms race among motorcycle manufacturers that would result in several legendary models, including one from Honda whose very name still conjures images of adventure.
Photo Credit: Honda Racing Corporation
Despite scoring a Dakar win in 1982,Honda found itself falling behind the competition in the adventure bike category. The Japanese giant tasked its top R&D team to create a new model designed to conquer the deserts of North Africa. Those efforts resulted in the Honda NXR750, which dominated the race for four straight years, winning from 1986 to 1989. That bike is an icon in its own right, but it also spurred development of the Honda XRV 650 Africa Twin—a bike that fundamentally changed the relationship between rider and machine.
Taking inspiration from its earlier sibling, the Africa Twin was the first factory-built bike designed for both on- and off-road riding. The goal was to convey a sense of adventure and discovery, giving owners a motorcycle with a Dakar-winning heritage that was also a daily driver. Honda gave the XRV650 a rugged suspension built for desert rallies, paired with a water-cooled four-stroke V-engine that provided plenty of power. Surprisingly nimble, the bike handled just as well on pavement as it did dirt, sand and other terrain, quickly earning a cult following in the moto community.

According to lead designer Mogi Tomonori, the goal with the Africa Twin was to create a bike built for “crossing the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea, and charging across the Sahara Desert and Africa.” That versatility was virtually unknown at the time, even in other adventure bikes. The XRV650 proved incredibly reliable, too, completing several Dakar Rallies of its own in the “Marathon” category, something previously unheard of from a production bike.
The original Honda XRV650 Africa Twin was only in production for two years, before being replaced by a new model. But the bike left such an impression on motorcycle aficionados that it is still spoken about in reverent tones. It set a high bar for craftsmanship and engineering, making it much sought after nearly 40 years after its initial debut. Honda even reintroduced the nameplate in 2016, with current models continuing the legacy of this storied original. The brand’s success continues at the Dakar Rally, too, with Honda winning three of the past five races.

Quick Planning Tips
Ready to plan your Labor Day Weekend getaway? Here are a few of my top tips for planning an RV trip that goes off without a hitch:
- Book campsites and activities early. Remember that Labor Day weekend is a popular time to travel, meaning spots will be snatched up quickly.
- Choose less popular destinations. If you want to avoid crowds, I recommend choosing a lesser-known destination. Fortunately, most of the options on this list fit that bill.
- Pack layers. In many parts of the country, the weather is starting to turn cooler right around Labor Day, pack extra clothes just in case.
- Check for local events such as parades, festivals, or concerts during the weekend. Since it is a holiday, you’re more likely to come across cool events.
- Opt for an RV road trip. This will keep you out of the airport, minimizing stress. It’ll also give you a chance to explore off the beaten path and forge your own trail.
As you can see, there are lots of amazing Labor Day Weekend getaway destinations to choose from. Why not choose one and start planning now so you can have the Labor Day getaway of your dreams?

A Trek from Maine to Myrtle Beach
This classic route is a whirlwind tour of some of the famous and family-friendly summer destinations on the East Coast. After setting off on Mt. Desert Island in Maine, where dining on buttery, fresh-caught lobsters is a rite of passage, you’ll head south to enjoy the nostalgia-inducing sweet treats of Lake George, the living history of Gettysburg, and the wild horses of Assateague Island, before arriving at the soft sand and sun-soaked attractions of world-famous Myrtle Beach. Even the famous pirates of Okracoke make an appearance along the North Carolina coast.
Distance: 1,437 Miles • Total Drive Time: 18 Hours

1. Feel the Magic of Maine’s Mt. Desert Island
Starting Point
Despite being the second-largest island on the eastern seaboard (New York’s Long Island takes the number-one spot), Maine’s Mt. Desert Island has never lost its homey feel. It’s the kind of place where long summer nights are spent dining on lobster and grilled corn, followed by views of the soft pastel sunsets that are particular to this part of the New England coast. The next day, a hike to the exhilarating Thunder Hole or the top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park brings you up close with the natural beauty of this iconic coastline. Bar Harbor, the island’s biggest town, has a main drag dotted with kitschy shops selling oversized sweatshirts, but that is also steeped in New England nostalgia and a love for the sea. Be sure to swing by the local museums, especially the Dorr Museum of Natural History, which focuses on Maine’s spectacular wildlife. Off the coast, fishing and paddling excursions explore the rocky shores of Frenchman’s Bay, where adventurous guests are often joined by porpoises, seals, and bald eagles, among other animals.

Featured Resort: Mt. Desert Narrows Campground
Nestled right against the shoreline, Mt. Desert Narrows Campground is the ideal place to stay while in Maine. The campground features playful activities like ice cream socials and magic shows for the kids, while providing all the amenities you expect from a full-service RV resort. In addition to the heated pool and sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, both Acadia National Park and Main Street in Bar Harbor are a quick 20-minute drive away, making it easy to plan activities ahead of time or on the fly.

2. Lake George: Family Vacation Central
Drive 434 miles • 7 hours, 30 minutes
If your childhood memories of summer vacation include things like chewing on taffy, lemonades on the lakefront, small town amusement parks, and picnics that end in oversized sundaes, you pretty much have Lake George to thank. It practically invented American summers and has been perfecting the craft for almost 200 years (and no, that’s not a typo). Luckily, not much has changed. Summer visits to Lake George still include sunset tours on the lake’s famed steamboat, sweet treats at Martha’s Dandee Cream (ranked among the best ice cream shops in the country), and outings to Expedition Park, a family-friendly amusement park with dinosaur-themed rides. Bigger kids might prefer the full-scale coasters at Six Flags Great Escape nearby. Of course, leisurely lake days are also central to any stay, so be prepared to boat, paddle, and swim away the hours in water that Thomas Jefferson himself described as the most beautiful he ever saw. Million Dollar Beach and Shepard Park Beach are the best bets for family-friendly amenities.

Featured Resort: Lake George Escape Campground
Set against a backdrop of towering Adirondack pines and the curling Schroon River, the Lake George Escape Campground is a perfect jumping-off point for exploring upstate NY. It’s only 5 miles from the village of Lake George, so eateries, amenities, and lakefront fun are easily accessible, while the campground itself offers access to pristine, unspoiled nature. Take advantage of regularly scheduled events like wagon rides and summer dances, as well as more adventurous outings, including rental canoes and river tubing.

3. Experience Gettysburg Beyond the Battlefield
Drive 393 miles • 6 hours
Touring the Gettysburg National Military Park is a solemn and insightful experience. In fact, many visitors describe it as almost spiritual. But there’s also plenty to do beyond the battlefield. After enjoying one of the expert-guided tours and exploring the 40 miles of scenic backroads that make up the historic site, head into town where you can enjoy local fare at local favorites like the historic Dobbin House Tavern, Reid’s Cider House, or the Round Barn and Farm Market, where local produce shines. There’s even the new Beyond the Battle Museum, which focuses on the lives of civilians in the wake of the Civil War. Adams County is also full of great day trips, like a covered bridge tour, which will take you along the quiet shores of Marsh Creek and to nearby towns like Fairfield, which boasts antique shops, show farms, and the annual Pippinfest, a celebration of harvest, community, and the local apple varietal. For horseback rides and canoe trips, Gifford Pinchot State Park is a quick drive to the northeast.
Featured Resort: Drummer Boy Camping Resort
Cozy and welcoming, Drummer Boy Camping Resort is focused on providing a relaxing and customer-friendly stay to Gettysburg visitors. It’s located just minutes from the military park and battlefield monuments and offers a range of amenities, including swimming, fishing, and mini golf. Summertime events are family-friendly and include Candy Bar Bingo, ’80s dance parties, and September’s always-popular Tailgate weekend.

4. Roam on the Spectacular Virginia Shore
Drive 209 miles • 3 hours, 45 minutes
Fun fact: Virginia Beach holds the Guinness World Record for the longest pleasure beach at a whopping 35 miles. That’s 25 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline and another 10 along the Chesapeake Bay. But what does that mean for road-trippers roaming Old Dominion? Simple. It means a nearly endless supply of watersports and waterfront fun. Virginia Beach holds the key to the action with miles of boardwalk, incredible sunrises, and fresh seafood like the catch of the day at The Back Deck, a local, family-run favorite whose fish tacos are not to be missed. Of course, the beaches up and down the coast — from family-friendly Kiptopeke State Park to the wild horses of Assateague — are not to be missed either.

Nor are the inland and Chesapeake Bay waterways that make kayaking trips and birdwatching tours here so memorable. And while you’re at it, don’t skip on a historic lighthouse visit or a morning on the fairway of one of the area’s dozens of pro-level golf courses. Just like the majestic 34-foot statue towering over the sands of VA Beach’s Oceanfront Park, Neptune is calling!

Featured Resort: Bethpage Camp-Resort
On the shores of the Rappahannock River, Bethpage Camp-Resort has been named the best RV resort in the nation a whopping three times, and it’s easy to see why. Movies, mini golf, and a thrilling on-site water park set the stage for good times, while easy access to the nearby Chesapeake Bay means plenty of fishing, boating, crabbing, and more. Kids will love the themed weekend events (stick around for the Grape Stomping!), while adults can indulge in food and drinks at the Beach House Grill. Many of Virginia’s top cities and beaches are also nearby, which makes exploring the region a blast.

5) Explore North Carolina’s Iconic Coastal Plain
Drive 293 miles • 4 hours, 45 minutes
North Carolina’s 300-mile coastline is the kind of place where fantasy and reality meet. Where tales of pirates and ghost ships are shared around campfires, and history-making adventurers first took to the skies. It’s also where family-friendly road trips go for a taste of the extraordinary. The northern half of the coastline, give or take, is known as the Outer Banks, a charming collection of barrier islands that include Kill Devil Hills, where the Wright Brothers flew the first airplane in 1903, and Nags Head, where kite flying has become a cherished pastime. The Outer Banks National Scenic Byway shepherds visitors past highlights like the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and the iconic black-and-white Bodie Island Lighthouse. You can also take a ferry to the secluded Ocracoke Island, long the playground of pirates and a mecca for shipwrecks. Stop-offs include many of the Outer Banks’ charming small towns, like Manteo, where casual seafood shacks meet historic high culture during the town’s renowned summer theater season.
Featured Resort: Topsail Sound RV Park
For a centrally located, no-frills campground with top-notch customer service, head to Topsail Sound RV Park in Holly Ridge. A short drive from both Jacksonville, NC, and Wilmington, it’s known for its easy access to the 12 miles of Topsail beach and to Surf City, a laidback destination for surfing and live music on the barrier islands. The campground’s biggest draw, however, is the 100-foot fishing pier designed by the Army Corps of Engineers that’s a short walk away. Available year-round, the pier is the ideal place to land a lunker, while recent conservation efforts have made the surrounding wetlands perfect for paddling excursions and birdwatching.

6) Myrtle Beach: A Family Fun Mecca
Drive 108 miles • 4 hours, 45 minutes
Known simply as The Beach, this classic summer getaway is the ideal endpoint for an East Coast road trip. Family-friendly and practically bursting with things to do, it simply has it all. The 60+ miles of shoreline are a great place to start, with standout beaches like Cherry Grove Beach and Huntington Beach State Park among the finest in the southeast. The 1.2-mile Myrtle Beach Boardwalk is another gem boasting oceanfront dining (try the Oysters Rockefeller at Wicked Tuna!), kitschy shops, and the 187-foot-tall SkyWheel, a glass-enclosed, gondola-style observation wheel that provides near-endless views of the Atlantic. Myrtle Beach is also a golfer’s paradise with over 90 championship-level courses. For the kids, head straight to Family Kingdom, the most extravagant seaside amusement park around, or take a stroll on the Myrtle Beach Mini Golf Trail, an informal accounting of the city’s best kids courses. Red Dragon Cover Adventure Golf is an all-time favorite! The Hollywood Wax Museum and Ripley’s Aquarium can even turn a rainy day into a splash. Myrtle Beach is also known for its special summer events and concert series, so be sure to check the calendar before arriving. A beachfront performance is a must while in town.

Explore the Great Outdoors Up Close and Personal
Fall is perfect for the adventuresome who want to visit the less-explored, off-the-beaten-path areas of our country. Temperatures have dropped (maybe), kids are back in school, and trails are less crowded.
Throw your climbing gear, your backpack, your kayak in or onto your car, truck, or RV, or load up your ATV and head north, south, east, or west.
Sand Dune Speed
The Oregon Sand Dunes stretch for 40 miles along the Pacific Coast, from North Bend to Florence, and rise to 500 feet above the Pacific Ocean. ATV riding is allowed in some areas, and hiking is always permitted. For a change, try “snowboarding” in the dunes.
Further East, the Great Sand Dunes National Park sprawls across south-central Colorado. Dunes are higher, but no motorized vehicles are allowed. Near Colorado Springs, the Garden of the Gods draws novice and experienced climbers to its red rock walls. There’s easy access from the Denver metro area.
Canyon Adventures
The high deserts and canyonlands of Arizona and Utah are meccas for hikers and rock climbers, but many of those same areas around Lake Powell (that straddles the Arizona/Utah border), Zion, and the Grand Canyon offer trails and tours for ATV and UTV fans.
It’s important to check whether permits are needed for hiking, backcountry camping, and/or ATV riding. Mind the weather for heat and sudden storms. Slot canyons can rapidly fill with water. And always make sure someone knows where you’re planning to be. Cell service is spotty or non-existent in many of these areas – even along the Oregon Coast.
Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado can also be treasure troves of fossils, with many dinosaur museums and digs to explore. Pack up your inner archaeologist, get some pointers at various visitors’ centers, and begin your hunt.
Major Mountain Fun
Heading towards the East Coast, the Appalachian Mountains run from Canada south into Alabama. From Pennsylvania to Georgia, a sub-section of the range is known as the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The highest point of the Blue Ridge Mountains is Mount Mitchell, northeast of Asheville and accessible off the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Parkway, known for its scenic vistas, hiking trails, waterfalls, and quaint towns, runs 469 miles south from Mile 0 in Afton, VA, to its end in Cherokee, NC. Be sure to check ahead if planning to drive the Parkway. Sections may still remain closed after landslides and damage from Hurricane Helene in 2024.
The Great Smoky Mountains are a sub-section of the Blue Ridge, and straddle eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina from Cherokee west to Gatlinburg.
The Smokies and the northern Blue Ridge are known for hiking and camping opportunities and sights such as Grandfather Mountain and Linville Falls.
Whitewater, leaf Peeping, and Off-Roading
Travel south from Cherokee into the Nantahala National Forest and enter a white-water paradise. Hikers can walk behind the 75-foot plunge of the Dry Falls. Kayakers and rafters find challenging rapids — some with marked courses. Many outfitters line US Hwy 64 as it travels through the Callusaja River Gorge. Nearby towns include Franklin and Highlands.
In the fall, brilliant colors add to the beauty surrounding explorers.
Fall leaf peeping is also a bonus heading north off the Parkway into West Virginia and Virginia. Spelunkers will find an abundance of caves to explore on the Virginia side. ATVers will find networks of trails that span the area along the border of the two states. Several RV parks and camps specialize in offering hospitality to riders.
One of the most famous off-road trail systems in the country is West Virginia’s Hatfield-McCoy Trail system, boasting more than 1000 miles of trails. Within the system are multiple individual trails such as Bearwallow, Buffalo Mountain, Indian Ridge, Rockhouse, and more. Permits are required and available at trailheads and local outfitters. Bearwallow is considered family-friendly and good for beginners. Trails also exist in the New River Gorge area. West Virginia is the only state completely within the Appalachian Mountains, so mountain activities abound.
On the Virginia side, the Spearhead, Peters Mill Run, and Taskers Gap trail systems combine to offer several hundred miles of off-road trails. Again, permit requirements should be checked ahead of time.
Among RV parks welcoming adventurers are:
Arizona
Flagstaff RV Park, in Flagstaff
Rancho Sedona RV Park, Sedona.
Connecticut
Nature’s Campsites, Voluntown
North Carolina
Buck Creek RV Park, Marion
Flaming Arrow Campground, Whittier
Fort Wilderness Campground and RV Park, Cherokee
Stonebridge RV Resort, Maggie Valley
Valley River RV Resort, Marble
New York
Rip Van Winkle Campgrounds, Saugerties
Tennessee
Bigfoot Adventure RV Park, Tracy City
Sun Outdoors Pigeon Forge, Sevierville
Utah
Fossil Valley RV Park, Vernal
Shady Acres RV Park, Green River
Virginia
Endless Caverns, New Market
North Fork Resort, Front Royal
West Virginia
Rifrafters RV Park, Fayetteville
Brushcreek Falls RV Resort (complete with new Alpine Slide), Princeton
Wyoming
Eagle RV Park and Campground, Thermopolis

Coastal Towns: Think Journey — Not Destination
Interstate-95 runs a pretty straight course 1,924 miles south-southwest from Houlton, Maine, to Miami, Florida. It goes near or around almost a dozen major metropolitan areas. And, if going from Point A to Point B as quickly as possible, it’s not a bad choice.
But especially after leaving the bustling Northeast behind, the options along scenic byways become more inviting and accessible.
This Blog explores Coastal Towns primarily in the Southeast from Virginia to Florida. But if you’re heading south from the Northeast and want to meander, heading over to the Jersey Shore might be a good starting point.
More on the Shore
Leave 95 in Philly or Wilmington and Head to Atlantic City or Ocean City, and follow US 9 or the Garden State Parkway south to Cape May – well worth a stop to view its beachfront Grand Victorian Houses. Cape May boasts the second-largest collection of fine Victorians in the country, second only to San Francisco. Miles of beaches, outstanding birding, and a pedestrian-friendly downtown add to its charm.
Catch the Cape May Ferry – easily holds a 45-foot motorhome and its tow — and follow US 113 through eastern Delaware and Maryland into Virginia, where the town of Chincoteague awaits on the Eastern Shore.
The Pony Stroke
Made famous by the children’s book, “Misty of Chincoteague,” detailing the annual roundup-swim of wild ponies from nearby Assateague, Chincoteague offers an easy-to-stroll downtown, an array of shops and dining spots — plus multiple RV parks.
Following the beach road (US Hwy 13) south brings you to the engineering marvel that is the 23-mile-long Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, combining bridges, tunnels, and causeways. There are rest areas, scenic view pull-offs, and, yes, a toll.
At the southern end of the bridge is Virginia Beach, featuring miles of beaches, a boardwalk, and lots of attractions in a larger town.
To get back off the beaten path, take U.S. Route 17 south through the Great Dismal Swamp to Elizabeth City and on to Point Harbor before crossing over Currituck Sound and reaching North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
Where Wrights Took Flight
Explore Kitty Hawk and the Wright Brothers monument, Manteo for its small town ocean-front charm, Nags Head, Rodanthe, Frisco, and Hatteras. Climb the lighthouses, munch on barbecue and soft-shell crab, and relax on the sand. Kite sailing and wind surfing are popular activities — try it yourself or watch the colorful sails and chutes glide through the air.
A ferry takes you onto Ocracoke Island and its beaches and wild ponies, and another ferry goes on to the mainland at Cedar Island, NC. Head east along the beaches toward Jacksonville, where you can once again pick up U.S. Route 17.
From there, Hwy 17 will take you to well-known towns such as Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Hilton Head, and Savannah. But be sure to check out the charm in lesser-known, but historic hamlets, such as Little River, Murrells Inlet, and Litchfield by the Sea, near Myrtle Beach, and Folly Beach, Sullivan’s Island, and Isle of Palms near Charleston.
And, of course, if you’ve never visited Charleston and Savannah, do take time to tour, dine, marvel at the architecture, and enjoy the vibe. For great beaches, try Tybee Island, near Savannah, and then head on down U.S. Route 17 to Jacksonville, FL, where you can pick up historic U.S. Route 1 that continues on and off all the way to Key West.
Long Coasts, Small Towns
In between big cities, both the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of Florida are dotted with charming, historic small towns that boast fishing hotspots, dining, wildlife, gardens, kayaking and paddleboarding spots, and quirky and fun attractions.
Be sure to visit St Augustine, the Kennedy Space Center, the Keys, the Everglades, Marco Island, Sanibel, Tarpon Springs, Dunedin, Homosassa Springs, and Crystal River.
After the state bends to the west, the Panhandle offers beautiful beach after beautiful white sand beach. Seaside is a popular spot to visit, but don’t miss the drive through the Gulf Islands National Seashore with its miles and miles of protected wild dunes and public beach access. The Seashore ends at Fort Pickens off the coast of Pensacola. Both fort and city offer interesting history and lots to see and do.
All along your route – whether traveling highways or byways, you’ll find Good Sam parks ready to welcome you and offer hospitality on your journey.
