The jewel of NH's small coastline, Wallis Sands is a very popular family beach, set back from the main road parking area. The site includes one small store on the beach, but no boardwalk. There are lifeguards in season, a bathhouse and showers. From the North side visitors can look down on the beach from a rocky hill with views of the ocean, the Isles of Shoals and the winding Route 1A with large homes and camps. Arrive early, since the lot fills up. Visitors may arrive via the Seacoast Trolley that makes hourly stops from Market Square in Portsmouth.
