The beauty of Hampton Beach is the honky tonk of it all! Coppertone, sand, beach, music, arcades. Nothing
"foo foo" about it. You don't have to be a "beautiful person" to enjoy the beach. Get on the suit and have fun!
We're all kids in Hampton Beach.

There are plenty of beach options around, as you can see. Well we are one of the adventurous ones, along with the others who swim at Spectacle Island and also off our boats all over the Boston Harbor Islands - we would not have been so inclined to do that 15 years ago, but for the past 8 years we have found the waters to be cleaner than most harbors and many beaches as well - esp since Spectacle is newly opened and the gentlemen running it is doing an exccellent job - clean beaches, clean facilities - and plenty of people swimming too !

It's a short boat ride out there - no traffic hassles - it's a real gem Boston has to offer with a killer view from the top of the island.
