4. Mid-Atlantic Gems: Cape May, New Jersey to Chincoteague, Virginia
If you want to stay on the Mid-Atlantic coast, this scenic road will take you through nature preserves, beautiful beaches, and lovely Victorian towns.
Start off your journey in Cape May, where you’ll get the chance to enjoy the charming boutiques, gourmet restaurants, and gingerbread-style Victorian homes. After this, you can take the ferry across to Lewes, Delaware, another charming town full of history, cute shops, and cafes.
You must spend at least one night there so that you can take a lovely sunset cruise past the lighthouse and, if you’re lucky, see some dolphins along the way.
As you follow the scenic road down to the beaches of southern Delaware, you may also want to stop and visit some of the local wineries and breweries in this region.
On your way to Assateague Island National Seashore, stop for a nice stroll on the Ocean City boardwalk or in the lovely small town of Berlin, MD. To get up close to the wild ponies, we recommend taking a boat tour from Chincoteague.
