Can anyone give me the names of some towns/cities that are located in the mountains with easy access to lakes or even the ocean. I've been to Virginia before and LOVE the mountainous areas, but love the water as well. The last time we were there we drove through some beautiful towns in the more mountainous areas on our way to Richmond, and then headed to North Carolina. So I was just wondering if I could get some names to check out.

I know it's vague but I'm really not looking for specific names just yet. Just some ideas maybe of places that would fit this description. If I get some good replies then I'll get more specifc.

Boones Mill, Virginia (15-30 minutes to Smith Mountain Lake, Roanoke):

Charlottesville (Lake Monticello, Leesville Lake)

This is good for starters, and then you can branch out.
