Enjoying Southern New Hampshire Living

A few days at the beach has a way of recharging me…making me realize just how lucky I am that I can come here. While camping at the beach, we can work and enjoy all the sights and sounds of beach side living.

The Atlantic ocean, the smell of salt in the air, the gorgeous wild beach roses, cooking outdoors, sitting under the awning…it’s all so relaxing. We booked this camping trip last Thursday and were lucky enough to get a spot for the very next morning, Friday, which is almost unheard of… a weekend at one of Massachusetts most popular state parks booked at the last minute.

Usually it’s at least six months to the day to get a reservation. Salisbury Beach State campground books up fast because it has a much desired ocean and river front location. The campground sits right at the mouth of the mighty and very treacherous, Merrimac River where it meets the mighty Atlantic Ocean. Some sites run along the road facing the river with fantastic ocean and river views, others are further back. But worst case it might be a 5 minute walk to the beach.

You can imagine the show that this location puts on…due in part to it’s incredible tides and the standing waves that they produce. Sitting at the riverside beach is very entertaining. Plus my favorite shows are the sunsets on one side of the park and unbelievable full moon rising on the other side. If you’re camping during a full moon it is a sight to see! And one not soon forgotten. All this is short 30 minute ride from Hampstead and makes living in Southern New Hampshire most enjoyable. Check out some of NH’s other prime Waterfront locations.
