Hampton, NH

The Hampton Playhouse is an equity theater open to the public in the warm months. The Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom showcases many big name acts from comedy, country, rock n' roll, classics and oldies. Across the street from the Casino is the Hampton Beach Sea Shell Stage where talent contests and free nightly entertainment run from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. Fireworks is a highlight every Wednesday night. Hampton and Hampton Beach are ideally suited for year round work and play.

Hampton has for its boundaries, North Hampton on the north; Hampton Falls on the southwest and west; and Exeter on the northwest; while its eastern border, throughout its whole extent, is washed by the Atlantic Ocean. Hampton is small, having an area of only a little more than 8000 acres. About one-fourth part of Hampton is salt marsh, and sand banks along the coast. The surface is generally level or undulating, nowhere rising into high hills, and consequently the streams of water, none of which are large, furnish but few valuable mill privileges.

Along the whole eastern border of Hampton is a fine, sandy beach, interrupted only by a projecting rocky point near the northern extremity, which shelters from troublesome winds a fishing cove on the southerly side; and about midway, by Great Boar's Head. This is a singular bluff, lifting itself between two low, sandy beaches, and extending into the sea about one-fourth of a mile, being a triangular shape, and terminating in a point at the southeast. It rises gradually from the salt-marsh and a low ridge of upland on the west, till it attains the height of fifty or sixty-feet above sea level.
