I am looking for a place to spend a weekend that is within a 1 hr or so train/bus trip from Washington DC. I'm at a work convention during the week in DC and want to take a short weekend trip outside the city before leaving for home. By the water with shopping and sight-seeing would fit the bill. It's the last weekend in October. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

I live in NJ. I am looking for a place where I can rent a house on a private beach for a week or so for me and my family. Does such a place exist within a 4 hour drive of NJ? Is so who can I contact to help me. PS if I could also rent a Hobiecat sail boat and leave it on the beach, all the better. thanks
