There are two listings in Google Maps for Wallis Sands Beach ?️. One is for the state park and the other is for the beach ⛱️ itself. I have been visiting Wallis Sands since I was a kid! You could not keep me from swimming ? in the water ? during the summer ? even after I watched "Jaws" ? on television ?. I would sometimes bring my dog ? for a walk here in the off season. I believe Wallis Sands extendes past the small jetty. The State Park has the main building with a concession booth and shower ?/ changing rooms. According to the Rye Historical Society, there was a Wallis family that owned a farm in the area, hence the name. You have three options for parking ?️. There is the cliff overlook along RT 1A. It is a popular spot for fishing ?. There is a one hour time limit. Remember to use your parking brake. I have seen a car that went over when I was a kid. The second is the parking lot at the Wallis Sands State Park. It is expensive ? and they will lock ? the gate in the evening. The third ? is along one side of RT 1A. It is free ? but I don't know if there is a time limit. Be good at parallel parking! My last visit I encountered a huge amount of seaweed along the shore. It is unusual to encounter that. I will always recommend a visit! ?

This has to be the nicest beach on the New Hampshire coast. It gets busy, but nothing compared to Hampton beach. There's plenty of sand to find a nice sunbathing spot. There's a big parking lot, so you don't have to worry about finding a car parking space. $15 for all day parking.

Wallis Sands Beach was a nice spot to visit. There was plenty of parking nearby. The beach was fairly busy when we went, but still very clean and well maintained. It had a mix of ocean and rocky coastline that makes it feel really scenic and relaxing.
