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.
Of course you can make it from the mountains to the beaches and back in one day, but it was rediculous to tell someone that has just moved to Charlotte to do that, and I am guessing that is the point NancyL was trying to make
You can also do it in SC, Georgia, Virginia, Mass, and NH.
