Welcome to the Seacoast area, one of northern New England’s most popular foodie destinations! Whether you’re taking a break from swimming at Rye’s famous beaches or looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion in downtown Portsmouth, culinary delights abound. Visit The Atlantic Grill or Jumpin’ Jay’s for fresh seafood…or fine Italian cuisine at Ristorante Massimo, outstanding tapas at Cava, or hip and delicious comfort food at The Black Birch. There are simply too many options to name here, but there’s truly something for everyone.

Shopping

The Seacoast area of New Hampshire and Southern Maine is home to world-class shopping, from the Kittery outlets to boutiques along the brick-lined streets of Portsmouth. It’s rare to find the mix of charming emporiums, brand-name clothing stores, trendy shops, delightful bookstores and so much more within both walking distance and an easy drive from many homes in the greater Portsmouth area and beyond!

Lifestyle

Boating

There are many private marinas, public boat ramps and water access points throughout the greater Seacoast area. Launch your kayak in one of several tidal rivers which meander through the region such as the Squamscott and Bellamy Rivers, or an idyllic lake like Strafford’s Bow Lake, to enjoy wildlife spotting opportunities. On the shore of Little Bay, Great Bay Marine is an ideal place to set out for boating adventures on New Hampshire’s largest tidal estuary. On the coast, the Wentworth by the Sea Marina is the crème de la crème, where you’ll find luxury yachts docked in the summertime.
