I have only sailed in the Chesapeake and Pamlico Sound on the east coast. Very pretty but it can be very busy too. The Chesapeake's problem is all of the shallow water. You need to be very careful to know where you are. There can be vast stretches of water from shore that are only a few feet deep. The good news is it is all mud.
Some places like harbors and narrows can be very tricky to get into even though marked.
East coast like Maine and such you are dealing with rocks and some pretty significant tides.
