Hundreds of miles of Atlantic coastline range from dramatic rocky shores to long sandy beaches. Inland, there are dramatic mountain ranges, a peaceful agricultural landscape and dozens of unspoilt lakes. The contrasts are everywhere with some of America's most attractive cities to small picture-perfect villages complete with picket fences, village greens, and clapboard homes.
