Wallis Sands State Park is located in Rye, New Hampshire. This is a smaller state park and ocean beach. With New Hampshire having a short coast line there are not a lot of ocean beaches, but this is one of my favorite to visit.
There is a large parking lot, large grass area, bathroom and changing facility and beautiful beach area. On a busy day, the parking lot can fill up. If you go in the evening the changing room does close down. We learned the hard way when we went to go change back into our clothes and the doors were locked. I think I am ready to invest in a portable changing room.
The beach has soft sand, great waves and is a perfect place to spend an hour or the day. The swimming area also has soft sand, which is great for swimming and wading.
The beach is long enough if you want to take a walk and enjoy the sand and waves. If not there is plenty of opportunity to sit and relax with your favorite book or enjoy the cool water and waves.
