It’s easy to see why families keep coming back for vacations in this fun, lively area
There is no whining about being bored allowed at
Hampton Beach, NH, where parents and kids have been coming for decades for the best in family entertainment. That might mean exploring beach tidal pools or running in the surf, spinning and sliding in a playground, trying to conquer pinball machines and other games in arcades, gathering for movies or concerts right on the beach, or oohing and aahing over
fireworks displays or thrilling acrobatics at the
Circus. There’s an oceanarium with touch tanks, candy and ice cream shops with more flavors than you can imagine, and plenty of
hotels with outdoor pools.
Dining is casual and easy, from take-out fries on the boardwalk to seafood restaurants right across from the beach. Check the website for information on the
Children’s Festival, and the
sand sculpture contest.
