One of the foremost goals for the Division of Parks and Recreation and the Office of Planning and Development in regard to the master plan is the revitalization of the public face of Hampton Beach.  As for private and commercial property along the beach, equal renewal and enhancements are predicted to follow the Hampton Beach improvements.  This goal will be reached by spreading the public facilities out from the Seashell complex to the entire beach, to include the under-utilized north and south ends, in order to cut down on central congestion and crowding.

Another goal for this project is to reserve prime beachfront property for functions directly related to the public’s use and enjoyment of the beach.  Support functions for the State will be redirected to areas of the park in less demand for public recreation.

The final goal is to create a distinctive look for the State Park facilities at Hampton Beach.  The facilities should be immediately recognizable as part of the State Park and should contribute to the fresh new appearance for Hampton Beach that the redevelopment seeks to promote.  

Proposed redevelopment plans for Hampton Beach State Park include:

• Replacement of the Seashell Complex with accommodations for an open air stage with viewing capacity for 2,000; toilet facilities; lifeguard watch station; First Aid room; State Park visitors’ contact office; Chamber of Commerce visitors’ information center; shade space; exterior seating; rinse-off showers; and bike racks.
