From the reviews
This review is for McGuirk's Restaurant, 5-Stars all around! Here's the scenario - it's a hot and crowded July 5 at Hampton Beach, the sun is setting, and the boardwalk is packed. We're at Hampton for a family reunion and we are all starving for dinner.
I stayed at McGuirk's Ocean View Hotel for one night. My standard room was comfortable, clean, and surprisingly spacious. I was especially impressed by the large drink cooler, which was perfect for keeping beverages cold after a day in the sun.
Getting married at McGuirk's Ocean View Hotel
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
