About Hampton Beach

Hampton Beach is a seaside resort village in Hampton, where Ocean Boulevard runs beside a boardwalk, shops, seasonal hotels and the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom. The state park beach has lifeguards, and you can swim, fish and picnic on the sand. In summer the Seashell Stage hosts nightly concerts and fireworks go up over the beach on Wednesdays. A sand sculpting classic arrives in June and a seafood festival follows in September.
