Summer has finally arrived! That means warm weather, barbecues, outside dining and most importantly … beach trips! On a hot, sunny day, the beach is a great place to take the entire family. Whether you want to relax and read a book, build a sandcastle, or play in the water, the beach has fun for everyone! If you live in New Hampshire or are just visiting, be sure to check out these beaches to get the most out of your beach trip:
