Check out Tom Johnsons in Marion as your base camp, and then take your car and do a trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The poster that said you could get to the beach and the mountains in the same day is nuts, unless you are using a jet plain, or unless they plan on making a U turn after they get a cup of coffee at the beach !

You really don't believe I can eat breakfast in Blowing Rock in the morning, and have Britt Donuts at Carolina Beach before supper??? I promise you I can, and do it easily. It's only 5 1/2 driving hours or less from Blowing Rock to Carolina Beach.
You need to go more.
