Super clean white sand beach. Locals take good care of trash, shells, etc. Kiters and windsurfer should do as well. During low tide there is ample room to launch, the spot itself could easily hold 20-30 kiters at low tide.

Access: | No Info |
Route 95N out of Boston to 286 East. All the way to the end and you will see the Ocean in front of you. From Manchester airport, 101 East to south 1A. Beach is at the intersection of Route 1A and Route 286 on the border of New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
No parking on the street. Carry in and carry out all trash. Locals have right of way. In general, during the summer months kiting takes a back seat to sunbathers and anyone else from 10:00am to 5:00pm.
Massive amount of bars just north in Hampton Beach. $1 draft specials, tons of 21-28 crowd. Most bars are packed by 10:00pm and get very rowdy.
