The Seacoast Region features 18 miles of Atlantic coastline, with long sandy beaches, working ports, offshore islands, and popular resort towns that date back nearly 400 years. At the hub of the region, the city of Portsmouth (settled in 1623) combines modern day convenience with historic charm. The Olde Port and downtown areas are home to brick-paved streets, historic buildings, art galleries, specialty shops, jazz clubs, sidewalk cafes and award-winning restaurants. Prescott Park features beautiful gardens and hosts concerts and festivals. Strawbery Banke Museum provides an historic recreation of life in Colonial days. A short drive away, Redhook Ale Brewery offers tours and casual dining.

Neighboring towns such as Dover, Durham, Exeter, Greenland, Lee and Newmarket also have much to offer. Tour the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire in Dover, the Seacoast Science Center in Rye, Great Bay Discovery Center and Great Bay Wildlife Reserve in Greenland, or Flag Hill Winery in Lee. History buffs will enjoy Exeter, one of the first four settlements in the state and its capital during the Revolutionary War. Exeter is home to the American Independence Museum, and Phillips Exeter Academy is one of the nation’s finest preparatory boarding schools.

Hampton Beach offers shopping, dining, and a variety of entertainment beyond swimming. Catch a concert at the Casino Ballroom or Seashell Stage, and free weekly fireworks throughout

the summer. For a quieter experience, visit Wallis Sands State Park or Jenness State Beach. Explore walking trails or enjoy a picnic at Odiorne Point State Park in Rye. The historic and remote Isles of Shoals, located six miles off the coast, is a great day-trip option.

to be discovered…See the Wagon The 130-acre Wagon Hill Farm on Route 4 in Durham offers sweeping views of the fields next to the old wagon atop the hill. These views are exquisite at sunset. The property features well marked trails leading to a nicely developed waterfront with picnic tables and swimming in Little Bay. Enjoy cross-country skiing and sledding during winter months.

Wine Time Flag Hill Winery in Lee is both a winery and a distillery, meaning it produces wines and spirits. It boasts more than 20 acres of vineyards that feature nine varieties of grapes suitable to New England’s harsh climate, producing red and white wines in a variety of flavors, including fruit wines with blends of strawberry, apple and Wild Maine blueberries. In keeping with their “made in New Hampshire” pride, Flag Hill has a Heritage Red Wine that is blended with maple syrup.

Float to the Shoals The Isles of Shoals is steeped in legend and lore. But the islands are a destination for history buffs and photographers, vacationers and lighthouse lovers. Portsmouth Harbor Cruises leaves from Portsmouth Harbor and cruises the 6 miles out to the Isles. Go for the afternoon or spend the whole day.

Where the Potters are If you like to watch artists at work, take a trip to Salmon Falls Stoneware in Dover. The beloved stoneware is highly prized and has become an American tradition for more than 20 years. Hand-made and hand-decorated, the pieces are uniquely New England, making this shop a true landmark in the City of Dover.

No Ordinary Odiorne Visit The Seacoast Center at Odiorne Point State Park. The state park is worth exploring all by itself, for its 350-acre park with hiking trails and multiple habitats, located right on the Atlantic. The Seacoast Science Center offers a tide pool touch-tank, interpretive exhibits, a 32-foot skeleton of a humpback whale, amazing views of the seashore, and a rare blue lobster in their “Gulf of Maine” exhibit hall.

Why Rye? Rye Harbor State Park showcases the rocky New Hampshire shore better than any other location along the 18-mile coastline of the state. Saltwater fishing is popular with the many chartered boats that set out from the harbor. This is also a popular spot for weddings and picnics. Escape the hustle and bustle of Hampton Beach with a short ride to Rye.

Go Back in Time Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth provides visitors with the opportunity to experience and imagine how people lived throughout four centuries of New England history. This is achieved through restored furnished houses, exhibits, period gardens, historic landscapes, and costumed role players.

WINTER CAMPINGWinter camping isn’t just for skiers and snowmobilers anymore. Each year, an increasing number of campers are winterizing their equipment so they can enjoy a weekend or a vacation in the outdoors at a time of year when the campgrounds are quiet and uncrowded.

Many campgrounds are open for your winter camping experience. Check the Grids and Listings in the Region section for additional information.

Enjoy winter in New Hampshire...ski, skate, sled, snowshoe, or just relax in a quiet campground.
