I've seen most of the New England coastline from Bar Harbor to Cape Cod and the shores of Rhode Island and Connecticut. I didn't get out to the beach, this year. No biggie as I heard the rip tides were unbelievable, I've seen some photos of the aftermath of one during low tide. I've seen and dipped my feet in the Pacific twice in my life. Once in Santa Monica and once further North outside the Bay area of CA. I'm planning a Pacific Northwest family vacation for next year. I'm sure that I'll see more of it. As far as further south on the east coast, my paternal grandparents once lived in Palm Beach. I've been to NYC a couple of times and drove to Virginia with my dad once.

I would say that coastal Maine is my favorite.
