Blue Ridge Parkway and Destin as previously suggested 
Also consider (*** = Earn Points with the spouse):
- lunch, museum and shopping at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta. Need reservations. ***
- Panama City Beach. Lots of very local seafood restaurants
- Don Cesar St Pete Beach ***. Valet Parking. Massage Therapists. Berns Steakhouse and save room for their dessert room ***
- Charleston SC. Homewood Suites has valet parking and they took very good care of my 911. Food and Beverage: Ansons, Prohibition, Salt and Sorghum. Private Tour with Carolina Polo and Carriage Tour Company ***
- Virginia Beach area. Hilton VaBeach is nice and on the water***. Valet parking. Dining: https://www.littlebitnola.com/ and 1608 Crafthouse.
- Out of VaBeach take 13 across/under the Chesapeake for more fun and adventures on the other side.
If you are in the Southern Maryland area, give a shout. Safe and fun travels!!!

I have not unfortunately which is a shame because its right up the road. I work two jobs, detailing cars and then have a side gig so almost every single weekend from Aprilish to December I am working in some way. I am part of the Philly MINI club and still haven't made it out to one of their events yet.
No Surfside Beach SC

Congrats on the new ride!
As an alternative to Charleston I would suggest Sea Island, GA. My in-laws have a house there and the Cloisters is a fantastic hotel with lots to do from chilling at the beach club to horseback riding, skeet shooting or a kayak trip through the marsh…

Many sections of Blueridge parkway are closed during the winter and early spring. Check with park services. You can drive 20 miles up only to find it closed then schlep 20 miles back.
