Rye
A laid-back Rye state beach that’s a local surf staple; parking is metered street spots that vanish fast, so it’s a prime “is it full yet?” check.
Rye
Calm, family-friendly water at Wallis Sands State Beach, with a real lot (a rarity here) and a view out to the Isles of Shoals — the lot still fills by midday in July.
Rye Harbor
A small, rocky-edged pocket beach near Rye Harbor that most visitors blow past — bring water shoes and grab one of the few roadside spots.
