From the Blue Ridge Mountains in the North to the Atlantic Ocean; from the Outer Banks of Kitty Hawk and Hatteras to the ever-popular winter stopover at Hilton Head; over 450 miles of coastline abound in the Carolinas!
To the West are more mountains, the southern Appalachian chain: Asheville and Biltmore Mansion - the largest mansion in the USA (so there, Bill Gates); Boone, ski-country; parks and wildlife in abundance.
