The "East Coast," "'''Eastern Seaboard'''," or "'''Atlantic Seaboard'''" are terms referencing the easternmost coastal states in the United States Of America . They touch the Atlantic Ocean and stretch up to Canada . It usually includes all thirteen original colonies, as well as such selected places as Washington, DC , Florida , Maine and Vermont . People elsewhere in the United States sometimes refer to the East Coast colloquially as "back east". "East Coast" is frequently associated with the Northeastern United States , particularly for cultural concepts such as an "Eastern College " or " East-coast Liberal "; the Southeast coast is more associated culturally with the larger American South . "East Coast" may also refer even more narrowly to the highly urbanized strip along the coast from Boston, Massachusetts to Washington, D.C. , the so-called " BosWash Megalopolis ", which is also known as the " Northeast Corridor ."
