-charleston south carolina is gorgeous!(on the coast)
-blowing rock north carolina and boone north carolina (very close to each other in the mountains) are super!!!
-bald head island north carolina (coastal north carolina) you park, take a ferry over, and use golf carts on the island...awesome!
-if you want tropical islands come to southwest florida!! i hate leaving the country and have found South Seas Plantation and many other resorts in Captiva and Sanibel florida just as tropical as jamaica or the bahamas.
