I don’t typically travel to the Hampton Beach boardwalk during the peak tourist time frame (anytime from Memorial Day through Labor Day)– often visiting the area in the Fall/Winter and, of course- stopping by their annual Seafood Festival at the end of the Summer season each year.

Although I’m not in any hurry for the Summer to be over anytime soon- one of my favorite end-of-the-season activities is heading up to Hampton Beach in September for their annual Seafood Festival-not only because I love a buttery lobster roll or a fresh crab cake as much as the next person- but because all […]
