Hampton Beach Pictures
America's East Coast Beaches
We decided to just get out of Boston, so we set our GPS for Hampton Beach, NH.
The trip through Boston was amazing.
Their Interstate structure and tunnels are a big wow!
Anyway, the GPS took us out of Boston via I93 to I95 North.
I took pictures of all of the exits and some of the restaurants and motels.
When we arrived at Hampton Beach State Park, we were disappointed because it turned out that the campground is small and for RV's only, no tents or popups.
The Hampton State Beach charges $7.00 to get in, except we were there after 5. The snack bar was closed but the restrooms were open and there are several showers there. A sign said the restrooms would be locked at 6pm and the gate wouldbe locked at 8pm.
When we went to view the beach, it was really nice with deep soft sand, but looking to the north of us, we saw most people congregating down there. We drove to find out why.
We were greeted by a strip of fun and excitement, little shops and restaurants and... another beach. The parking by the beach is metered for 10 minutes for a quarter. We put some quarters in and walked over to Alan's Seafood and ordered the fish and chips and it was great.
We stayed at Hampton Beach till sunset and then headed north to find Old Orchard Beach.We followed 1A along the coastline, and it sure was scenic. We saw North Hampton Beach just as the sun was setting, but the pictures are already too dark.
Then we ran into Jennes State Beach, and we were wishing we were following the coastline during the day, and may go back on 1 A Then we saw a sign for Rye Harbor State Park, then Wallis Sands State Park. We noticed the moon is full and a dark orange. Next came a scenic overlook that had metered parking.
Odione Point State Park was the next on this route and it is amazing there are so many state parks here on the coastline. Then we came into a small scenic town with some New England style buildings. This small town wound up being Portsmouth, Maine.
