As Ben pointed out, the West Coast has a relatively smooth coast line with few bays and inlets so it is a lot of offshore work with just a handful of ports. The East Coast has lots of intermingling of sea and land making for lots of cruising ground up bays, rivers and raggedy coastlines.
We have gone up and down the East Coast seasonally since 1997 and feel very lucky to be able to do so. We find we often visit the same places each time but also add new ports of call each season too. We winter in the Jacksonville FL area because Jan has family there, then go north to New England for the summer when it gets hot in Jax spending a lot of time in Gloucester MA. We "do" the Chesapeake in the Fall from mid September to the end of October, returning to Jacksonville for Thanksgiving. Many others follow a similar routine and many winter in the Bahamas.
