The Best Beaches on the Seacoast of New Hampshire

With summer just around the corner, you can be sure that people will be flocking to the beach and spending plenty of time soaking up the sun and playing in the surf. There are plenty of beaches to choose from, but the Seacoast of New Hampshire is the preeminent place to visit during the summer for great beaches. With a 13.5 stretch of coastline, there are a number of options to choose from when you decide to head out. 

The first place you should check out is North Beach in Hampton. North Beach is on the main stretch of beach road known as Route 1-A, and runs throughout most of Hampton. It's got plenty of sand and room for those few thousand, that's right THOUSAND, beachgoers that come for holidays like the 4th of July. North Beach is well known throughout New England, and people from all over flock here. It's a great place to spend some time with the family, and you'll see people from as far away as Quebec enjoying the weather. North Beach does have parking meters, and the meter maids are adamant about tickets, so get there early and load up your timer. If you plan on heading down there for a weekend or on a really nice day, plan on jockeying with a number of other people for good parking spots as it gets crowded very quickly. North Beach is the summer destination, so head over there the next time the weather gets nice.
