Hampton Beach, New Hampshire Travel Guide
Hampton Beach in New Hampshire is a top summer vacation destination for families from all over New England. Its miles of sandy beaches are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, surfing, picnicking, and fishing. The Seashell complex houses an outdoor amphitheater and visitor center. A bustling seaside community, Hampton Beach has restaurants, shops, and arcades.
Hampton Beach State Park has a bathhouse, pavilions, and plenty of parking. Its beach is a favorite with families. The receding tides leave behind tidal pools that are fun to explore. Hermit crabs, sea urchins, and starfish can be found among the seaweed and the rocks.
Camping
The Park has RV camping with full hookups. The campgrounds will be open until Columbus Day and are reservations only.
If you’re interested in renting an RV, Green Vacation Deals recommends RVshare.
Other Area Travel Activities
Drive along Route 1A and you’ll find the smaller, less crowded beaches of North Beach, North Hampton State Beach, and Wallis Sands State Park.
Hampton Harbor is an inlet formed by the Blackwater River and Hampton River plus other rivers, creeks, and sloughs that drain the salt marsh area west of Hampton Beach. The Harbor is home to yachts and other pleasure craft as well as charter party boats and fishing boats.
Surf fishing is great along the sandy beaches and rocky coastlines. Anglers come here to catch striped bass, bluefish, and winter flounder from the beach or the jetty in the inlet to Hampton Harbor.
