On the property
“The hardest part is walking through loose sand to get to beach; I wish they had a mat or boardwalk to make it easier for hauling wagons, coolers, chairs and such.”
What couples highlight
“A stunning beach that is perfect for families, featuring soft sand and gentle waves.”
“Even though it was crowded there was parking and room on the beach.”
From the reviews
One of the best beach parks we’ve ever visited! Hampton Beach State Park exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, everything was well-maintained, organized, and welcoming.
Very clean beach! Multiple restrooms spaced out on boulevard. Places to sit under shelter and enjoy the view. Bands play on different nights on outside stage. Many restaurants for all types of food and many beach shops. Arcade of course. Everyone was well behaved the three different days i went.
A stunning beach that is perfect for families, featuring soft sand and gentle waves. It offers a clean and tidy environment, making it an ideal spot for children to play and explore safely. The inviting atmosphere ensures a delightful and memorable day for kids and adults alike.
Will be returning to this beach! Clean, calm, and beautiful. Lots of options for biking, laying out, walk8ng, admiring sand castle contest (late June), and fireworks on Wednesday nights during summer at 930pm. Enjoy!!
Getting married at Hampton Beach State Park
Hampton Beach State Park is a public beach or park, so a ceremony here almost always needs a permit from the managing city, county, or state parks office — and the rules matter: many public beaches cap your guest count, set ceremony windows, and restrict what you can set up (some ban chairs, arches, and amplified sound entirely). There's no on-site coordinator, catering, or weather backup, so you'll bring your own vendors and a rain plan. The payoff is a stunning setting at a fraction of a private venue's cost. Start with our public-beach permit guide, then call the local office to confirm this season's rules.
