About Hampton Beach State Park

This coastal park sits on a peninsula in the Hampton Beach community, where the Hampton River meets the Atlantic. Visitors can swim, fish, picnic, and stay at an RV campground with full hookups. The park also has access to a long stretch of sandy beach. Pets are allowed on the beach only during the colder months, and horseback riding is permitted there in the off-season. Metered parking runs along Route 1A, and restaurants and shops are nearby. Facilities are limited in the off-season, when the park is typically unstaffed.
