Hampton Beach and Portsmouth, NH - Portsmouth NH Weekend Getaway

Preview: New Hampshire’s shape is close to triangular, with a bulge near the base taking up little space along the New England coast. This itinerary is short because the shoreline area is an interlude of only 18 miles between the coasts of Massachusetts and Maine—but that short stretch is lined with beautiful ocean beaches. After a quick visit to Hampton beach, you will reach Portsmouth and its many attractions. Also included is a side trip to the Isle of Shoals. This chapter contains everything you need to getaway for a quick daytrip or a long weekend jaunt. A route map is included and as are suggestions for the best things to do, places to eat, and places to stay.
