You have four hours. Precious hours they may be for quality family time but busy moms need maximum results for minimum effort. Right?! Super safe, super fun and super easy.... where to go? A search on the super easy KidFriendlyVenues app on this website has exactly the right answer for everyone. For those of you in New Hampshire may I suggest you use the app to find out all about Hampton Beach State Park? If you want a hassle-free, family-friendly beach, it is the place to go! Just down the road from the hustle and bustle of Hampton Beach strip, this state park gives you easy parking, large bathrooms and a cute store with prepackaged ice cream and slush at a great price!

This spot gives you a fast pass to sand between your toes and the salt water on your legs. Swimming may not be possible with little ones to watch but that's ok. By the look of shock on many a face, I think the water is quite cold most of the year. But when I heard my youngster tell me with delight that "Can we bring Kelly (his best friend) next time?" I knew we picked the right spot!

OUR TIPS AND TRICKS

* We always enter through the main beach walkway, stopping at the bathrooms before heading to the beach.
*Try sitting on the far right side of the beach, closer to the rocks. Kids can dig for treasure or crabs which will keep them entertained for hours.
*The store is located off the beaten path which is perfect for families who want to skip it. However, a cold treat is always the perfect reward at the end of the beach day. We typically stop on our way out.
*Choose your neighbors carefully! Sit near a family with similar aged kids. Dump out your toys near them and they will keep your children entertained so you can relax!
*Make sure to pack an umbrella. Overheated and burnt-to-a-crisp does not look good on anyone!
*We always purchase our daily parking pass online beforehand, making it truly easy in, easy out.
