Towns in the Cape Cod area (MA), Eastern Long Island such as the Hamptons area (NY), Outer Banks Area (NC), etc. Also there are small islands along the East Coast such Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Block Island, etc. which are good vacation spots in the summertime.
The eastern end of Long Island is full of interesting & scenic places from The Hamptons - which is really a whole region on the southern shore stretching out to Sag Harbor & Montauk - to the North Fork which is somewhat less hauty or crowded & with vineyards & a nice restaurant scene.
One could take a train to NYC for a day trip/overnight too while anchored there & avoid traffic.
