If the responses to this week’s 12 Inch Poll are any indication, this is a discussion that will last all summer long.
Things started simple enough: The Cape or Maine? Which do you prefer between the two for your New England summer vacation destination? It didn’t take long for folks to come out of the woodwork with a plethora of third alternatives.

Of these two choices, Maine Seacoast. But the actual correct answer is New Hampshire Lakes Region. https://t.co/15CDyl2vtj

Nothing like starting off vacation by trying to get over the Sagamore for 6.5 hours

Fwiw I want to go a level above “Maine seacoast” and spend some time on Monhegan
Lake Winnipesaukee is the only answer here. It's nice enjoying the water without the threat of a great white shark. https://t.co/RW5HSJ8ack

I know I am a biased Rhode Islander but I just spent a week in Narragansett and it was glorious.

As a UMass-Amherst grad and long-time Northampton resident before finally coming back to Boston, I have always been puzzled by the lack of love the Valley gets here!

a lot of people saying Lake Winnipesaukee have no idea what they are missing. That’s the Hampton Beach of NH lakes. Lake Sunapee very underrated.

I'm here to defend the Beachcomber at Cahoon Hollow in Wellfleet, maybe the last perfect place left in this bad old world.

Adam, you know my answer, ME for sure. But some dude living in Boston for only 10 years, sounds like he’s never been to ME, all set with his opinions. Adam, we know what’s up. But for the record, I still like both for different reasons. #vacationland pic.twitter.com/7W81jLEVNG
