How about a different beach in NH, Jenness or Wallis Sands? Think they still have relatively large parking lots, but not as much of a mob scene. I still haven't been to York beach since relocating to the Seacoast. Old Orchard isn't far from me as well. I can wear my French Canadian inspired grape snugglers! Speedos.

I’m Cambridge based and spend a lot of time heading south. Always up for a northern beach adventure! That date might work!!

I would like to keep it to Hampton because it’s most familiar to me and this is my first planned trip. Then after this we can branch out. I will have to check out the suggested beaches though. For those who are worried about parking download this app called spot hero it’s a life saver.
