Boston, Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, Cape Cod. More than enough to keep you busy for 4 days. Njoy!

So have I, except Portland, but all of US-1 from Freeport to Lubec.
Large planes go to Portland & Bangor more often. Need a puddle jumper to get to Bar Harbor airport.

Since you'll have just four days, you'll have to limit yourself to one area. I would suggest New England. If you go after the peak of the leaf season, it will be less crowded and less expensive. Look at the links below and make a list of what you would like to see. Then check the distances between them and decide what you can do in a short time.

Looking for suggestions for a East Coastal destination for a fun 4 day weekend. WE have plane tickets we need to use before the end of January, and would like to do a quick trip this fall yet. We're thinking East Coast, great seafood and historical sites. (we love history) I always get great suggestions from UHH so any and all ideas are appreciated.
Thanks!

If in New England don't miss Portsmouth, NH. Great history, maintained old homes. Plenty of NE seafood.

Virginia: The Historic Triangle of Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown.
All three are close together and you could see one a day.

Not on the coast...
Cheese Steaks and Hoagies abound though!
(I'm about 20 miles from Philly.)

Ditto Bridges — Savannah and Charleston. If you like museum ships, Patriots Point in Charleston: spent one ”Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club” deployment on the Yorktown in ‘68.

I'm a South Carolina native, so I'm a bit prejudiced, but Charleston has it hands down. Lots of history, great photo-ops and restaurants you can't beat anywhere. I might just go myself.

Savannah. Lots of history and great parks. Many photogenic sites in the area.

Key West. Or any of the Key's take Ferry to Fort Jefferson.
