Located in North Hampton, New Hampshire is North Hampton Beach State Park. This is a smaller of the New Hampshire seacoast beaches, but can also be less crowded due to its limited metered parking. Careful to not confuse this beach with North Beach, which is just a few miles south of North Hampton Beach. If you are lucky enough to get a parking space it is a nice beach to check out. There are bathroom and changing facilities with easy access to the beach without a lot of walking. The day we visited there were life guards on site along with police officers walking up and down the side walk.
The beach itself if small, at high tide there is not a lot of room. At low tide part of the beach is rocky, which can make it a little tricky getting in the water if you have sensitive feet. This is also not a lot of beach to walk long distances on.
We had stopped at North Hampton State Park Beach after a softball tournament and it was a perfect way to cool down for a couple hours. Across the street is The Beach Plum, which seemed like a popular place for beach goers to get food. Overall, this beach was a great stop for a couple hours to cool off and relax.
