New Hampshire - all beaches

The beach is well-maintained and roomy, as we visited during the busy July 4th week and still had ample space on the sand. It's also a great spot for families, with a variety of small gift shops, a large indoor arcade, and an outdoor playground. Additionally, there's a fantastic fireworks display every Wednesday evening during the summer.

This beach is perfect for leisurely strolls and shallow water activities. The parking is ample and there is plenty of room to maintain social distancing during low tide. The stunning rocks and sand add to the picturesque scenery. Although we didn't witness many waves during our visit, we did spot several surfers enjoying the water.

This beach is a great option for those who want to be close to their car, especially during off-peak hours when parking is easily available. Parents with young children may find this particularly convenient. There is a small restaurant across the street, which can be helpful. However, the parking machines were extremely slow this year, taking around ten minutes to process most credit card transactions. Hopefully, they will resolve this issue before the upcoming season. The view is quite beautiful, although there are even more stunning views in other places, this beach wins in terms of practicality and convenience.

The beach is smaller than the Hampton beaches, especially during high tide, but it offers beautiful views of two lighthouses and various sailing craft passing by. It can get a bit crowded. The main access point is through Great Island Common, although there is a small street that leads directly to the beach. Parking is limited to residents with parking stickers. Be sure to bring bug repellent as there are a lot of bugs due to the seaweed. The recent fireworks show was short but interesting, and even the Thomas Leighton showed up to join the party. I suggest visiting if you are at Great Island Common.
