Life slows down in the South, so what better way to sample it than a meandering road trip through the South’s coastal states? From northeast Florida’s sun-soaked beaches to the mountains of fall color along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina, a road trip through the South showcases the best of America’s coastal southern states.
We’ve highlighted the must-sees along the road, but make this road trip of southern states your own; don’t be afraid to stop at that roadside fruit stand or farmer’s market (they’re the best places to find mayhaw jelly in Florida or Carolina barbecue).

WILMINGTON A traveling Smithsonian exhibit now at the Cape Fear Museum of History and Science examines the diversity of challenges associated with global water sources.
The exhibit, “H20 Today,” investigates the effects of climate change, population growth and pollution on the water cycle and weather patterns and how people around the world are dealing with the challenges of water shortages and pollution. The exhibit will be on display here until Aug. 28, 2022.
“As a community surrounded by water, we understand the importance of protecting our rivers and ocean,” science content developer Darcie Cook said in a statement. “We are excited for the opening of H20 Today and invite visitors to explore the beauty and essential nature of water, our planet’s lifeblood.”
