👍 Kettle Cove is a nice secluded area to relax and check out the coast. There is a decent sized parking lot, and it didn't seem very busy when I was there.

Seabrook Dunes And Beach

Public beach

👍 This is a fantastic beach of residents, but I do not believe it is public unfortunately. Your best bet would probably be to park in hampton and walk over the bridge to seabrook, which is only bout a 10-15 minute walk. Still, very quiet and very nice beach.

Pleasure Bay

Public beach

👍👍 We went to the beach last sunday. It was a sunny summer day, we went by bus and there is a bus stop near to the beach. Who want to go by car, there is a lot of parking spot in the street. The beach is really beautifull, clean and the watter is a little bit cold. The sand is not to thin and there is...

Bayview Beach

Public beach

👍👍 This is an awesome year round dog friendly, family beach!

Or just bring a long line for your dog and you’ll be good! There is plenty of...

Carter's Beach

Scenic spot

👍👍 A beautiful, secluded pull off. Parking for 2-3 cars, very small pull off area. The road out to it is very rough and narrow. The beach is covered with shells. Tons of snail shells and mussels. Not great swimming, but good water to wade in. Scenery of camps, ocean birds and rocky shoreline to walk. J...
