Wallis Sands State Park

The coastal park encompasses 30 acres of sandy shoreline along the Atlantic Ocean, featuring swimming areas and clear views of the Isles of Shoals.

The location served as a United States Life-Saving Station in the 19th century before its transformation into a state park in 1964.

The beach functions as a central gathering point for New Hampshire residents seeking coastal recreation, reflecting the state's connection to maritime activities.

The facility includes a 500-vehicle parking area, a bathhouse with outdoor rinse stations, and a store offering food and beverages to visitors.

In 2010, a significant incident occurred when a dismantled 40-pound lion's mane jellyfish caused multiple injuries to approximately 150 beachgoers.
