Basically, directions are not capitalized. Capitalize directions when they designate geographical parts of the country, region or city or when used as part of proper names to designate a world division.

Do not capitalize when used to indicate parts of states or provinces.

Examples:

The car headed east.

Maybelle had been to East China.
