    First on the Beach

    First on the Beach captures a beach-goer who arrived to view the beautiful sunrise over the Atlantic, beach umbrella at the ready at Hampton Beach, a barrier beach along the New Hampshire coastline. It’s noted very clean waters and is very popular for swimming and boogie-boarding in the summer.

    The Hampton Beach Village District website lists the many concerts and events held on the beach in the summer, including nightly concerts, weekly fireworks displays, and annual sand sculpture competitions. Their live webcam gives you a glimpse of the activity on the beach.

    Walkers on Hampton Beach in New Hampshire, as seen from the dunes near the state park. The sun sets on this October day, casting it’s golden rays on the sands and beach grasses. The Hampton rock jetty extends into the water, echoing the slim gray clouds above it.
