About Rye
Rye is where serious coastal buyers land when they want the NH shoreline without Hampton Beach energy. Odiorne Point State Park contains the largest undeveloped stretch of NH coastline, with tide pools and migratory birds. Properties are expensive, turnover is rare, and the community fiercely protects its character.
