North Carolina – Beaches, Mountains and Vibrant Cities

North Carolina is a must on your list of "Places to Go". This Southern U.S. state has beautiful Atlantic coastline and America's #1 beach on Ocracoke Island. It's also incredibly diverse - with mountain scenery, vibrant cities like Raleigh and Charlotte, and so much more.

North Carolina's hundreds of miles of barrier island beaches are perfect for sun, sand and surf. This stunningly beautiful area was recently showcased in the Richard Gere movie, "Nights in Rodanthe".

The gently rolling countryside of the Piedmont area offers great golf, fascinating wine tours and miles of hiking and biking trails. It's also a sophisticated centre for upscale malls, New South cuisine and cool nightclubs.

And the highest mountain peaks east of the Mississippi mean summers of hiking and white water rafting, a waterfall trail and amazing fall foliage.

When it comes to getting there, Air Canada serves the most destinations in North Carolina with the only non-stop flights between Toronto and Raleigh-Durham and daily non-stop flights between Toronto and Charlotte.
