In the Northeast, it' a tough battle between New York and Maine. The Adirondack Mts are superior to Maine's mountains, but Maine's coast is more varied (it does have some lovely smooth sand beaches, just not as extensive as Long Island's) and breathtaking that NY's southern or northern/western (interior) coasts. Both have large areas of agriculture, and of forest. I would give New York the edge for the Finger Lakes region, which has no counterpart in Maine, and for the western shore of Lake Champlain, which is very underappreciated.
