Travel Weekend getaway - driving distance from NY? Help please!

[candice19]

We are planning a last minute trip for this Friday (or leaving Thursday night) into Monday. Thing is, this is on a budget, so it's driving only!

Can anyone recommend places to drive from NY, going South?

We're not really into museums and things to "look" at, we want something more active like hiking, or relaxing and beachy.

Thank you!!

Cape May NJ? It's about 2.5 hours away. I really like the Queen Victoria B&B there. Very charming, very laid back, not pretentious.

Hershey, PA? This is of course where Hershey Park is if you're big on amusement parks and chocolate.

Finger Lakes, but it's a bit farther about 5 hours.

Depends on who is going. Do you have kids or is it just adults?

We usually drive to Long Beach Island, NJ if we want a quick getaway.

Mystic, CT is a nice little seaport town.
