Coastal New Hampshire
Ranging from small fishing villages to bustling port cities, coastal New Hampshire is brimming with charm. Explore the historic streets of Portsmouth’s Market Square and find countless places to eat, drink, and shop, or meander along the Portsmouth Harbor Trail, which passes by more than 70 sites around the city. For a more subdued island vibe, consider the town of New Castle, a hidden gem nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Piscataqua River where Portsmouth Harbor Light is viewable from several roads and surrounding shorelines. And in the close-knit neighborhoods of Seabrook, a town with a strong sense of family, you’ll find a collection of big-box stores, eateries and retailers. For the full boardwalk experience, head to Hampton Beach and enjoy a wide stretch of sand and souvenir stops along the surf. Incredible beaches, charming historic towns mixed with hip and trendy cities, and an incredible diversity in things to do. That’s what’s waiting for you on the coast of New Hampshire.
