Trash everywhere on the beach. Styrofoam everywhere along with beer bottles and various trash. Not a very family place unless you like playing in the trash.

Great shopping along Ocean Blvd. Everything from food and clothing to souvenirs. The Seashell Stage is impressive and I enjoyed the entertainment and music there. Sunrise on the beach is great. I...

Love Hampton Beach! The "renewed" look is really wonderful! It is clean, fun and safe. Food choices are always abundant from restaurants to just good ol' Fried Dough! Arcades still provide hours of fun! Restrooms are clean. Great place to eat/drink and Play!

Hampton Beach State Park has one of the cleanest beaches in America. I've been dreaming of coming to this beach since first hearing about it from a New England native. I've been to a lot of beaches in America and Hampton Beach makes my top five list because it's so clean and beautiful.

always good to stroll along beach, especially due to hurricane conditions high waves cool breeze and all the urgency that goes along with that stayed until waves started coming over the sea wall, then time to go!

Always a good beach, safe for young children and elderly adults. Bathrooms, showers, store on-site makes it accomodating, price of stay for the day reasonable.
