 <\/p>\n

Talking about what constitutes the \u201cEast Coast\u201d can vary depending on who you ask. Typically, it denotes the eastern shoreline of the United States. Yet, there are occasions when this description stretches to encompass parks in adjacent Midwestern states such as Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Although these parks aren’t directly along the coast, they are frequently associated with East Coast attractions because of their closeness and comparable natural environments.<\/p>\n

When speaking geographically of states that touch the Atlantic Ocean, there are 7 national parks on the east coast – Acadia, Great Smoky Mountains, Shenandoah, Congaree, Everglades, Biscayne and Dry Tortugas. However there are many more that can be enjoyed when visiting this part of the US. To help you out, we’ve put together a selection of our favourites.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
