Eastern Seaboard - Definition and Overview

Red shows states most commonly considered a part of the eastern seaboard. (Pink states are states that do not border the Atlantic Ocean but are a part of the same general area, or lead to the Atlantic Ocean by a river)

The Eastern Seaboard (also Atlantic Seaboard) of the United States is the Atlantic coast from the eastern tip of Maine to the southern tip of Florida. It may especially refer to the highly urbanized strip along the coast from Boston, Massachusetts to Washington, D.C., the so-called "BosWash megalopolis".
