Excellent place to worship sun & sea. Clean bright sand, impressive clean facilities, and plenty to do.
you can go bike riding,hiking,camping sleeping out doors.just being with nature and the great skyes the fasher to the stars.Your meals are much better.
It is a great family beach during the day. The surf can be rough and the water cold though, but it is New Hampshire after all. The board walk is much better than it was 20 years ago. The parking is limited in the spots and it takes a while to drive down the main road with people looking for parking. At night it is crowded a large variety of people from families, to locals, to college kids, to kids in high school to elderly couples and everything in between are o the boardwalk. It is generally safe with a large police presence but people will still act like fools and their is the occasional overly drunk person. Sometimes they offer free entertainment in the summer that is enjoyable
clean beach..music at the seashell was excellent..fireworks the very best...the water very cold but refreshing
I live across the marsh from Hampton Beach and I never go here. The beach is filled with police which is a good thing due to the people that come to the beach here. I would advise families with youngsters to go elsewhere. Late Teens and up should be fine if you like crowds. Also check your meter multiple times a day as the tickets for an expired meter is $25 a ticket. After 15 days the ticket becomes $50, 30- $75, and 45- $100. Furthermore parking is $2 an hour and is metered up until 12pm! While the recent upgrades to the beach are nice, the people who come to the beach here have remained the same. As a NH resident all my life, Hampton Beach, despite it being my home, is not a place I would recommend to even my enemies.... Unless of course they got caught by the meter maids!! :)
Lots to do. Lots of restaurants and shops that look over the beach. Trucked in sand. Very clean. Lots of family things to do. Movies on the beach. Great for families with kids of all ages. Watch your little ones as traffic is busy and there's a lot of ignorant drivers on motorcycles and tricked out cars.
As one of the few beaches in New Hampshire, Hampton Beach was crowded. No parking. No tranquility. We weren't interested. But, I'm sure it was beautiful.
One of the largest , widest beaches in all of New England beaches, at low tide plenty of room for every one. Family, singles all kinds of people, whiffle ball, throwing frisbee or just playing catch this beach has it all,young jocks Vollyball at mid beach near newly renovated bath houses(3) family or day trippers southern end is for you, young people,and people watching the north end. Also plenty of Honkey Tonk beach food (pizza, fried dough, candy apples). And plenty of good restreants with lots of lobster.
If you have an RV and can get a vaunted spot, this is definitely one of the most unique places to camp. Right on the ocean with nice salty breezes, and a short walk to the best beach around. Also a short walk to the strip, great place to stay.
loved the updated facilities and new playground. there was a variety of well priced restaurants from sandwiches,to lobsters.. mmm good
