You can shop and walk around the area here. I would highly recommend heading into "Pepperrell Cove". There's a series of restaurants that serve amazing food. One is called "Bistro 1828".

Conselho para os viajantes
Transporte
Hampton strip can be a bit of a nuisance to go in and out of
Check the backroads to head into Seabrook through the route 286. It can sometimes be easier than going through Hampton Strip even at the cost of an extra 10 minute drive to the highway.
Transporte
Times to drive in and out
I would avoid going into/out of Hampton from 10am-1pm and 4pm-7pm. It can be a nightmare. Time your trips!
O que levar
Beach necessities!
I would bring good footwear to walk to the beach too! Bring a beach umbrella, towels, chairs, etc.
Use the outdoor faucet to wash off your sandy feet and gear.
