New Hampshire beach & ocean resorts ready to offer a fabulous getaway

New Hampshire's Atlantic Ocean coastline is short compared to its neighbor, but every bit as beautiful, with welcoming sand and surf at Hampton, Rye, and the small, authentic Colonial city of Portsmouth. That city's promontory, overlooking the ocean and the Piscataqua River, is the luxurious Wentworth by the Sea, operated by Marriott. The hotel, with luxury accommodations, spa service, and easy access to the Kittery outlets, is a fine vacation spot for families with children, couples seeking a romantic getaway, and anyone who loves the New England beaches.
