The unique rural atmosphere is one of the most popular reasons for living in North Hampton.
New Hampshire’s abundant wealth can be found throughout this picturesque town, from the post-card perfect beaches lined with magnificent estates to the inland’s charming neighborhoods dedicated to the preservation of rural community life. First settled in 1639, North Hampton later separated from the larger community of Hampton. In 1992, the town celebrated its 250 anniversary of incorporation, during which a survey of townspeople revealed the unique rural atmosphere as the most popular reason for living in North Hampton. Even though some of the most stunning and unspoiled oceanfront acreage in Northern New England is found in North Hampton, inland residents still enjoy quaint neighborhoods and the comfort of small retail operations. In addition to the state beach, where residents have the ability to park with a purchased beach sticker, the shoreline provides many recreational opportunities. Bass Beach is a hot spot for surfing, and nearby Little Boar’s Head attracts many people who like to watch the seemingly endless waters from the seawall rocks.
