i need to find a virginia beach-like place nearer to new york city. My main reason is that my hub is finnally getting out of work for three days. we cant travel too far. we have little time. where can we go that is beachy, has hotels in front of the beach and has restaurants, shopping, and rectreation only a 5 hour max drive away?
