Eastern Seaboard
Maine to Florida
The Eastern Seaboard is the Atlantic coast of the United States, stretching from Maine to Florida.
The term emphasizes the region as a continuous coastal zone rather than individual states: Hurricane warnings were issued for the entire Eastern Seaboard.
Also called the East Coast, though Eastern Seaboard sounds more formal and geographic.
