About Hampton
Hampton is the only NH town with a real ocean beach, and Hampton Beach State Park draws millions of visitors annually. The summer economy is vibrant — live music, seafood shacks, carnival energy. Year-round, it's a tight community with relatively low property taxes, strong vacation rental income potential, and easy I-95 access to both Boston and Portsmouth.
