Best NH Beach for fall walking?

Submitted by optimistic8theist t3_yfpjf5 in newhampshire

I'm an hour or so inland, and I'd like to get some ocean viewing and walking in this weekend. I'm wondering what you all might think is the best NH beach for walking and exploring in the off-season, with kids. Finding shells or rocks, easy parking, etc. I imagine parking to be relatively easy this time of year, but thought I'd ask anyone who knows more about it than me.

I normally hit up Odiorne. I've never been to any other other NH beaches as I haven't lived here for more than a handful of years and we typically head up to Maine or down to Mass in the summers.

Thanks! :)

I avoid Hampton Beach like the plague in the summer, but in the fall and spring it's actually great for walking. Zero crowds and the folks that are there are chill.

The worst thing that'll happen is an off-leash dog will do some uninvited crotch sniffing.

Oh nice! This is the sort of comment I was hoping for!

Any seafood or pizza places open and worth checking out this time of year there, that you can remember?

There always Tripoli (if you do beach pizza - which is something not all folks like). I hit the one in Seabrook on the way out.

Agree with above poster…Hampton is very peaceful this time of year. Head down rt. 1 to Markeys or Browns. I believe both are still open.

Brown's is my fave. Don't forget to bring your own beer.

There’s such a thing as uninvited crotch sniffing?

So you've definitely met my border collie. Probably the smartest dog in the planet but greets my buddies by dive-bombing their crotch. They've learned the 'lift the knee' trick, now, so it's all's cool.

Jenness and Rye are the best beaches in NH. Should be pretty clear for parking now that it’s dropped a good bit temp wise.

Honestly there's like 3. You can walk all of them in one day. We don't exactly have the coast of California to choose from.

Yeah there's like 15 miles of NH coast line. Pretty sure you could see all the beaches we have to offer in a couple hours if you take your time lol.

North Beach in Hampton is great for walking. Just park along the wall anywhere. Seabrook beach is also great if you can find parking

Best beach in NH is Seapoint Beach in Kittery, ME.

Honestly it’s worth the short trek over the border to go to York in ME!
