Better add a couple of days to tide you over

Come visit us at the closer East Coast. Then plan to stay a while. You’ll find there’s lots to do. Maybe a bike ride on our gorgeous trails or camping out under the stars. There are whales and puffins to watch and golf courses to drive. We’d love to see you. All in all, we’ve got fun for days.
