Village/quaint east coast town

After reading several helpful postings here, I have found myself needing the same help as others.

Does anyone know of a small village or town that lies on the east coast of America. I will be traveling from Virginia, and prefer to go north. I would love to find a small town that has B&B where I can do some shopping, visit a diner, and still be on the beach.
I guess this could just be a girls dream, but should you know of a place-please leave a message.

Thanks so much,
Fiestygoat

how far are you planning on driving? there are nice little towns like that all through the mid-atlantic states, starting with Annapolis, MD, Cape May NJ, various places in PA, Hudson Valley NY, Newport, RI, etc, etc.

Cape May, NJ would be a great stop. Wonderful B&Bs, beautiful Victorian homes, and a beach. Good luck.

You could also try Chincoteague, or Rehoboth Beach Del. There are actually so many lovely shore towns along the Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware coastlines it could be hard to choose. Oh, and then there's also those beautiful little towns in New Jersey too!

For me I love a town like Rehoboth or Lewes Delaware. Small and oh so quaint.

Here's another vote for Lewes. It's retained much of the charm we found there thirty years ago. And I can't think of another town, in that general area, that's kept that feeling.

Bar Harbor, ME is a wonderful place. It has the beautiful summer vacation homes from the "Rusticators" of the Rockefeller era, there are no fast food places or chain stores in town and it is very quaint. The mountain biking in Acadia National Park on the carriage trail is wonderful - Witch Hole Pond and Eagle Lake are gorgeous. You can get a full lobster lunch and blueberry pie for less than $20. There are also lots of very nice hotels, B & B's of all price ranges.

Best Regards,
Julia

Newport RI is not really a "small" town but it does have great scenery, atmosphere and B&B's. Cape Cod is fantastic, especially off season, and there are so many little towns and villages to explore with many B&B's.

Irf you want a small town that isn't FILLED with B+B's a la Cape May you might want to consider Spring Lake, New Jersey.
