Catch the Sun Rise in the East & watch it set in the West

If you live on the East Coast, the beach is always a prime destination to visit year-round but it’s always better to visit before October. Although everyone loves visiting the beach, it can become a mundane routine of showing up, getting sunburned and leaving a couple days later just a little bit tanner. This Labor Day Weekend switch it up and cross something off our bucket list! Take a day at one of our fine beaches on the East coast and get a glimpse at the beauty of a sunrise over the Atlantic. Then, travel 3,000 miles discovering landmarks, natural wonders, different cultures and end up on the West Coast where you can relax and watch the sun set under the Pacific. How long it takes you to get there, what you decide to do along the way is completely up to you!
