New Hampshire's Atlantic Ocean coast line is miniscule - 18 miles only in length with Massachusetts to the south and Maine to the north..
I took a day trip there on Monday with Emily and granddaughter #2. Granddaughter #1 had gone with Matt to Annapolis, MD to a family reunion. Emily stayed home with #2 because she had a fever, not Covid. They tested her. By Monday fever was gone for 24 hours, hence our excursion.
Our first choice in beach was a town park in Portsmouth but sign at kiosk where we were to pay said no swimming because of fecal matter contamination. So we traveled south to Wallis Sands State Park instead.
Emily went in with her.
Me? I got my feet wet. Water much too cold plus wind was blowing off the water which made it cooler.
It was a two hour trip each way. Coming home we stopped at Wendy's for dinner. A nice day and out of the ordinary routine.

...the place to be for summer fun.
Looks like a very appealing day at the ocean. Like you I would have passed on going into the cold water, but I could have spent happy hours probing among the rocks and in the tide pools.
It's always great to do something different. So often we settle for the mundane! What's with that!
How nice! I wish it was a quick trip to the ocean for me--but it isn't. I love to hear the waves.
A very brave young lady there, and definitely has been in the ocean before. It's nice seeing people enjoying the beach too!
That sounds like a fabulous day! I need a day at the beach soon. Thanks for sharing yours. Stop by and pick me up the next time you go! heehee!
What a beautiful beach! I love those photos - thanks for sharing
Emily was very brave going in so deep. Granddaughter#2 obviously had no worries about the cold water. A great place to go for a day out.
I have that “By the Sea” song playing in my ear right now.
It’s too hot here for the beach for us. I would welcome some frigid water! It wonderful you seem to be really enjoying your move closer to your grandchildren.
