I love the coast of NE but I'm not much of a beach person. I love Beavertail, Jamestown, Narragansett, the Walk Path in Barrington, Plymouth (where the heart of my childhood lies), Hampton Beach, Kittery, York etc etc etc. I also love the mountains of NE. Western MA, WhiteMountains of NH etc.
As much as I love my mountains here in NC, I miss my NE coast.
