2023 Water Safety Day at Hampton Beach State Park is on July 27th

07/20/2023

Water Safety Day started in 2015 as a public outreach program that sheds light upon the key safety aspects of visiting an NH State Park and its many oceanfront beaches, lakes, and rivers. There is also an environmental component that emphasizes awareness and conservation.

The event takes place on Thursday, July 27th, and runs from 11 am – 4 pm and will be on the sand in front of the Seashell Complex at Hampton Beach State Park, Main Beach. The address is 180 Ocean Blvd., Hampton, NH. There will be public safety and environmental booths on the sand directly in front of the NH State Park Headquarters. Representatives will be present to discuss their agency's role in the safety aspects of visiting a destination that features a body of water on the property. There will be demonstrations by the respective participants including water rescue demonstrations and fun, interactive events for children. Our goal is to have all patrons enjoy our beautiful parks and have a fun, summer season.
