                        Our 2020 Hampton Area Visitor’s Guide Dedication
                         Late in 2019 we lost two icons that have worked at the Chamber for
                     many years.
                         Julie Leonard had a special connection to Hampton Beach where
                     she and her family vacationed at Hampton Beach for many summers.
                     She served as the Chamber’s Beach Office Manager for over twenty five
                     years and built many lifelong friendships with many visitors as well as
                     long term professional relationships with many of the seacoast business
Julie Leonard        owners.
                         Lenny Joubert served the Chamber as the Craft Coordinator at the
                     Annual Hampton Beach Seafood Festival for over twenty eight years
                     and had a special relationship with crafters around New England which
                     brought them back year after year.
                         Therefore, the entire staff at the Chamber is dedicating this year’s
                     visitor’s guide to both special ladies. We will miss both very much and
                     never forget their unselfish commitment to the Hampton Area Chamber
Lenny Joubert        of Commerce.

LETTER
from the Hampton Beach Village District
Welcome to another summer of free
entertainment! The residents and businesses of
the Hampton Beach Village District are proud
to sponsor another summer of free events. In
June we will be celebrating the 20th year of
the Annual Sand Sculpture Classic. We will
also continue to provide all of the bands on
the Seashell Stage and weekly fireworks. On
Monday nights we will again be sponsoring
the free movies on the beach with additional
sponsorship by the Boardwalk Café and JB’s. In July we will be bringing the Country
on the Coast Country Music event, and the Miss Hampton Beach Competitions.
We are the major sponsor of the Children’s Festival in August, and we will again be
bringing the Hampton Talent Competition to the Seashell Stage. We have added two
new events in September, the Circus over Labor Day weekend and The Fire show.
We would like to thank the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce for their assistance
and the New Hampshire State Parks for providing a venue for us to present our
events. Most of all, we would like to thank the taxpayers of the Hampton Beach Village
District for helping to finance all of the free summer events.

VACATIONS to Remember
                   The New Hampshire Seacoast sits at the crossroads of
                   New England.
                   Between sea and mountains, Boston and
HAMPTON BEACH NH
                   Portland, it is at the heart of a unique region
                   filled with amusements, history, and scenery.
                   In short, New Hampshire’s seacoast offers
                   the best vacation values and countless
                   opportunities you will find anywhere, for any
                   budget, bar none. Not convinced?

                   Consider what you’ll find:
                   Tax-Free Shopping
                     You read that right. There is no sales tax in
                   New Hampshire. This means so much more for
                   your money, and all along the seacoast there are
                   stores galore, filled with fashions, jewelry, and
                   unique gift items that are locally made.

                                                         Great
                                                         Dining
                                                           Do you want surf, or turf? Or perhaps both?
                                                         Whether you want take out service, fast food,
                                                         or an elegant dining experience we have a
                                                         place for you. The seafood is freshly caught
                                                         every day, and prepared by the finest chefs in
                                                         the region who are working hard to hone their
                                                         skills to please you. The variety of choices is
                                                         hard to beat, from Italian to Chinese, pizza to
                                                         chowder, ice cream to fried dough, and some
                                                         specialties that are only available here for you
                                                         to discover. Dig in, the eating here is fine to
                                                         dine!

                   is a hotel, a motel, or
                   cottage. The real question is, do you want a luxurious seaside view, someplace quiet,
                   or an outdoor camping experience? All these options and more are available in the
                   Hampton area.

Opening the Casino in 1899
     It began in 1899 with the
construction of a two-story wood-frame
building in the hopes that it would
draw people to the Hampton Beach
area. The building, which opened its
doors on July 15, 1899, was christened
the “Hampton Beach Casino.” At
that time, the word “casino” did not
connote a gambling establishment as
we understand it today. The word is
Italian for “summer house” and came
to describe a social gathering place,
a room or building where one could
dance, listen to music, and gamble.
     When the Casino first opened to the public, it was comprised of a large dancing and
entertainment hall and also housed a spacious dining room, complete with a grand fireplace
erected with sea stones and lined with seashells. The bottom floor, had a dining room and
a cafe, boasted two bowling alleys, one billiard and two pool tables. The rear of the building
was reserved for recreational activities, namely baseball and tennis. Just across the street,
facing the Casino, was a bandstand for music entertainment such as bands and singers. That
bandstand would eventually become the Seashell Stage that we see today.
     Like most Atlantic resorts, the Casino flourished during the industrial revolution.
Beginning in the first two weeks in July when the mills shut down, workers escaped their dark,
ten-hour work days and streamed to the shore for sunlight and fresh air. Running trolleys
made the resort accessible to those near and far. The droves grew larger with the automobile’s
advent, and by 1914, hundreds of Henry Ford’s inexpensive Model T’s were parked in front of
the Casino.
     The Casino Ballroom’s popularity reached a new peak in the mid-1930’s big band era.
Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, and Duke Ellington all headlined
the ballroom. Though liquor was prohibited and the dress code strict - men rented ties for a
nickel - thousands crowded onto the dance floor to dance. Patrons lined a fence outside and
bought tickets or “checks”, usually five for a quarter that admitted them onto the dance floor.
The Casino Ballroom became one of the highest-grossing ballrooms in the country. Sammy
Kaye, Frankie Lane, the Dorsey Brothers, Bing Crosby and numerous other internationally
known orchestras filled the hall.
     Though it is not yet classified as such, the Hampton Beach Casino is, to many, a historical
                                                   landmark. It has been and will continue to be
                                                   the heart of Hampton Beach. It has been the
                                                   center attraction at one of New England’s most
                                                   popular summer resorts for more than 100
                                                   years.
                                                        Today, the Ballroom enters into its third
                                                   century on a high note, reputed one of the
                                                   best venues to play by artists and one of the
                                                   best venues to see a show by fans. During
                                                   its extended eight month season (April -
                                                   November), the Ballroom continues to draw
                                                   some of the top names in entertainment.
                                                   Recently, the Ballroom placed in the top 30 for
                                                   worldwide ticket sales in venues under 3,000
                                                   seats. No doubt the Ballroom has come full
                                                   circle and is, once again, New Hampshire’s
                                                   premier entertainment facility. Come see for
                                                   yourself the musical experience so heralded by
                                                   fans and musicians alike. History is made every
                                                   day at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom
                                                   and we invite you to partake in the memories.

     There are great camping opportunities on the Seacoast! On the one hand, there are plenty of
trails, harbors and rivers to explore in the great out of doors. On the other, you are a short stop
from the amusements, entertainment and food at Hampton Beach. The best of both worlds is
waiting for you along our scenic seacoast.
     There is only one RV Park located directly on New Hampshire’s scenic seacoast, and it’s right
at Hampton Beach. Located in the “South Beach” section, this idyllic state reservation is tucked
into a corner of sand dunes between the Atlantic Ocean and the mouth of Hampton Harbor, right
where Route 1A crosses over to Seabrook—a great place to camp, swim, fish, or watch the boats.

Hampton’s Beautiful Beaches
Hampton Beach State Park
Hampton Beach State Park covers over four miles of the New Hampshire Seacoast. Within this
stretch of Atlantic coastline you will find three unique beaches to explore. Each one is slightly
different, and all offer something for everyone to enjoy.

                                             North Beach
                                               Located between High Street and a rocky point called
                                             Great Boar’s Head, North Beach is the longest section of
                                             the beaches. Hidden behind a high concrete surf barrier, it
                                             almost vanishes at high tide and becomes a fine sandy plain
                                             at low tide. This is the place to come to catch some tasty
                                             waves if you want to surf, try surf fishing, or take a walk and
                                             watch the action from the heights of the wall.

Center Beach
  This is the heart and soul of Hampton Beach,
extending from Church Street down to Haverhill
Avenue. A wide, clean, sandy beach with pristine
water is ready to greet you this summer, with events,
tax free shopping, restaurants, arcades, and so much
more.

South Beach
Tucked between Epping Avenue and the mouth of Hampton Harbor is South Beach and the State RV Park.
This quiet corner is ideal for those who want to camp out, or need a place for a large get together.

There are six State Park beaches
alongthe NH seacoast.
The NH State Beaches are a great family location with an
Atlantic ocean-front setting—the sandy beach is ideal for
swimming and picnicking. Amenities at the beach include
a bathhouse. Metered parking is available. Pay Stations that are located at State Beaches accept cash and
coins as well as credit and debit cards.
NORTH BEACH 920 Ocean Boulevard, Hampton, NH 03842
NORTH HAMPTON STATE BEACH 27 Ocean Boulevard, North Hampton, NH 03862
JENNESS STATE BEACH 2280 Ocean Boulevard, Rye, NH 03870
WALLIS SANDS STATE PARK 1050 Ocean Boulevard, Rye, NH 03870
Wallis Sands State Beach offers oceanfront swimming, views of the Isles of Shoals, and a sandy beach that
families especially enjoy. Beach amenities include a store that sells a variety of items, food, and drinks; and
a large bathhouse with hot and cold showers. The park has a grassy area with picnic tables, but fires are not
allowed. The parking lot can accommodate 500 cars.
ODIORNE POINT 570 Ocean Boulevard, Rye, NH 03870
At Odiorne Point State Park picnickers can enjoy sweeping views of the ocean and rocky shore, and
explorers can uncover evidence of past military occupation. An extensive network of trails wind through
the dense vegetation and traverse the park. The Seacoast Science Center, which is located in the park, has
exhibits relating to the natural and human history of Odiorne
and the seacoast area (separate fee). The Seacoast Science
Center will be providing free programming this summer for
parks guests
