Hampton Beach: The Walmart Of New England Beach Towns

 

Mrs. Turtleboy favorite places to visit are the three worst places on earth – Disney World, the Big E, and Hampton Beach. That’s because her and I are very different people. Mrs. Turtleboy assumes that anything that involves lines and thousands of morons has to be good, because why else would everyone be going there? This Turtleboy believes the exact opposite – if too many people are doing it then it must suck.

For instance I agreed to do the unthinkable today and go to Hampton Beach, but only if I was allowed to write a blog on it. On our way there we came to a light where there were two left hand turn lanes. One lane was 20 cars deep, and the other was empty. The guy in front of us jumped in the long line because he was probably thinking, “this line seems important, there’s probably something wrong with the other line or else people would be in it.” We of course jumped in the line with no one in it and destroyed everyone.

Well last fall we started a shitstorm with our family trip to the Big E, and today we’ll probably offend the thousands of people who actually enjoy Hampton Beach. So on that note, I am going to lie through my teeth and pretend that I actually enjoy this magical Walmart of beach towns.

The best part about going to Hampton Beach is the fact that you get to wake up at 6:30 AM on the weekend. Because if you sleep a minute later they’ll double the parking rates on you, because the gypsies who run the parking lots there are honest businessmen like that. We got there around 9:30 today, which got us there just in time for the $20 rate. It’s a good thing we cut all those people off back at that light, because 20 minutes later this is how much it cost:

11755874_1609101172706493_2586993321048511582_n

And there’s nothing I enjoy more than giving money to a guy with a cardboard sign because he invested in cheap property back in 1974. An hour later it cost this much:

11774576_1609100779373199_1131886661_n

That seems like a reasonable price to park in a lot filled with a fun arrangement of syringes and broken dreams.

Hampton Beach is also widely known for it’s five star lodging at it’s multiple cockroach ridden motels:

11774363_1609100786039865_1526439620_n 11751240_1609100796039864_1931347163_n 11742840_1609100832706527_7781999350502443565_n 11745737_1609100836039860_1548532409215522699_n 11745542_1609101039373173_2553954540629376962_n

Almost all of these world class motels come with a Maitre D. Normally he will be living in the trailer adjacent to your villa and he will give you some friendly reminders about how your stay may be more enjoyable. For instance, he might say, “Only three people are allowed in a room,” and “replacement keys are $35.” 

Despite the fact that you are paying him a ridiculous amount of money to sleep on a dirty mattress that is covered in Hampton love juices, he will still treat you like you are a potential murderer who may or may not kidnap his first born child. Don’t take it personally though, this is just how people show affection at Hampton Beach.

If a motel doesn’t suit you though, you could rent property for a week. Hampton Beach homes are the east coast version of Malibu Beach. Only the swankiest of New England folk stay in some of these glorious mansions:

11742848_1609101159373161_722873682455936055_n 11750614_1609101142706496_131805975805071385_n

Because nothing says “I’m worth a shitload of money” like a cone in your front yard, ivy growing all over the house, and an orange chair that someone stole from the basement of the VFW.

The hard part of course is keeping up with the Jones’s because chances are your neighbors take a lot of pride in their property as well. It’s not easy to keep up appearances when your jort-wearing neighbor who locks himself out of his house uses bed sheets as curtains.

10985305_1609101052706505_579299488119326951_n

Walking around Hampton Beach can be a cultural experience as well. Just like the Big E there is a never ending supply of fried dough and overpriced pizza:

11128743_1609100789373198_1290176372_n 11701171_1609101556039788_1024959759561280229_n

 

You will see many people wearing what we refer to as the “Hampton Beach uniform” which normally consists of your oldest pair of jeans, a beer belly, and no shirt.

11542118_1609101342706476_2750380360139422996_n 10361453_1609100842706526_4756249551727025201_n

Hot.

Another option is the European look

18389_1609101409373136_2364748220890311381_n 11041260_1609101352706475_915029376169471286_n

But the above pictured fellas are kind of frowned upon. Not because Hampton goers have a problem with speedos, but rather because their bodies aren’t covered from head to toe in tattoos.

11218693_1609100892706521_5212253107257304203_n 11703350_1609101346039809_3469053914597337693_n 10891913_1609101679373109_3416109045560462384_n 10341769_1609101669373110_4689581310914033087_n

And one of the best parts about going to Hampton Beach is aimlessly sitting in traffic while attempting to drive in circles around “the strip.”

11695789_1609100999373177_5416403078912266733_n (1)

Although it is preferred that you drive a motorcycle and rev your motor really loud so we can know EXACTLY how big your penis is. Because nothing says, “I’m packing” like accelerating from 0-50 in 100 feet only to slam on your brakes because you’re still sitting in traffic.

You can go topless on your bike if you so desire, but this is really the preferred look:

11011457_1609101216039822_3566568109934128681_n

Magnificent. At night there are many places where young people can go out and play. One of the best places is the Ballroom. Here you can see that guy who made that song that they used to play on Jammin 94.5 back in 1993, as he hangs onto some scraps that he calls a career.

11759648_1609100792706531_95573990_n

Ah yes, the Ballroom. Where musical careers go to die.

Hampton is also one gigantic Spencer Gifts, so there’s plenty of stores where you can buy classy complementary t-shirts that you can wear with your best friend the next time you go to church.

11742844_1609101362706474_6485828924634613520_n (1)

Just make sure that you are always standing directly next to each other and in the right order, or else the matching “Best Fucking Bitches” shirts won’t make sense.

And the t-shirt stores only cater to the type of people that you WANT to have at your resort destination

1557448_1609101149373162_310755033135250941_n

Speaking of church, Hampton does have accomodations for all the good God-fearing folk out there. It’s safe to say that this church right here,

11754244_1609101349373142_2156912115000949121_n

has the smallest collection plate in the history of organized religion. You just need to make sure that you’re a practicing member of the religion known as “community church” or else the service won’t make much sense.

We do have to give a warning to all the ladies out there. If you fill up on the “fryed dough” and Hampton pizza, you’re probably gonna have to make a monster Hampton smash. And when you do, you’re gonna have to wait in a long line just like you had to do at the Big E

11755097_1609101496039794_2040639682341521921_n 10628081_1465062373777041_1116787671672479833_n (1)

Better off farting it out.

And can I tell you how much I just LOVE the beach in general? You get to pack up all this shit, including food and water which get covered in delicious sand and turn a refreshing piss-warm in the 90 degree sun. Then you get to lug it all down to the small piece of sand you claim in a sea of New England’s finest. Your options after that include lying down and doing nothing, jumping into a gigantic body of water filled with delicious salt water and whale poop, or aimlessly walking around gawking at the future cast of Teen Mom.

After several hours have passed you finally get to leave this paradise, but not before fighting the lines to clean off your feet, so that your car doesn’t become Hampton Beach Jr.

11745827_1609101506039793_6018963235257618782_n

 

And when you leave Hampton Beach, it’s always REALLY easy to get out of there. It’s not like you have to sit in traffic for another hour and a half as you wait for the draw bridge to allow a bunch of boats to head towards the infamous Hampton Beach marshland.

11204899_1609101722706438_7075927127947985810_n

Because Hampton Beach is so amazing that for whatever reason there is a never ending supply of people who are willing to wait in line to experience what we just did. And let me tell ya, sitting with Turtleboy Jr. in traffic is an AWESOME experience.

11209530_1609101676039776_462417398161379710_n

The bottom line is I would rather kill myself then ever going to Hampton Beach again.

    haha so this is the guy with the “Turtle Blog” Hey ask your wife about meeting a guy 2 months ago…Go cry about crappy hotels, she seems to like them A LOT! She had lots of fun at Best Western… She thinks you are a loser. In fact she said “Yeah unfortunately I’m married to a loser who writes blogs” we all laughed. Her friends can’t stand you either.. I wonder if you are still married to her? I won’t say her name but yeah, you really shouldn’t be commenting on others guys penis size…..

    Anybody who calls them self “Turtle Boy” and does not show his real picture is probably fat slob. Why don’t you post pictures of yourself?
    By the way Hampton Beach may be crazy but it’s not all crappy bands that play at the ball room or “old acts from 1993” unless you think Bill Burr is not “relevant” anymore. Hampton Beach makes a ton of money. You need to find the right Motel. The problem is most people are too lazy to walk 10 min to get to the “strip” so they avoid the ones where it may take you 10 minutes to simple take a walk….Even know that’s all you do in Hampton Beach is WALK….
    Hampton Beach is for KIDS. That’s the only reason why people should go there….By the way who cares about church at Hampton Beach? You must be a religious loon. The Bible is FAKE so is religion.

    I got a chuckle out of the article, first off, always park at the club casino parking lot. $20. And yeah you see all kinds of stuff at Hampton Beach. Cool cars and bikes! Saw a couple Ferraris last week end. If you want less of a crowd hit Rye up the street. If you want dumpier than Hampton, Salisbury Beach is down the road. Hampton Beach is cheesy but entertaining to say the least. Stephen King set the book the Talisman, starting at club casino. And yeah there’s always great entertainment at the casino. Used to love seeing George Thorogood there every year. Chicken foot played there. As I always say don’t like get the F out.

    Never go over the bridge. 101 in and 101 out. Quick and easy. I rent a small cottage on Highland, 101, right before tge Ashworth every year and love it. You need to stick to that end of the strip, no traffic. Only morons sit in that traffic. Agreed on the Hampton food smash. It’s like clockwork.

    Growing up Hampton was not one of the beaches I went with my family. We mostly kept to Cape Cod and RI. My folks now own a home in Hampton and it all depends upon where you are. Last update was that Hampton Beach ranked #3 (2014) for cleanest water. The boardwalk is being renovated. I heard Sal of Sal’s Pizza bought the Casino Ballroom and will be renovating. Move North or South of Hampton and you can find better establishments. Head towards Rye and you pass some modest homes, beautiful homes and rentals overlooking North Beach which is on the other side of the cliff. I rarely go to Hampton Beach and spend more time at North Beach. Surfers seem to prefer North Beach too. The only drawback is it is only accessible during low tide. It isn’t near public rest rooms and minimal food establishments (the main one being Little Jacks).

  • Jeff
    July 26, 2015 at 10:18 pm

    Only thing I disagree with is the comment about the Casino Ballroom. Saw the Black Crowes there and it’s a great place to see a show. Sturgill Simpson was just there too so they’re still getting good acts in addition the the retro re-treads.

    Oh, and by the way, my cousin and I spent a week up there back in ’96. Met a couple sisters from Albany. While one of them gave me a rub n’ tug on the beach by moonlight, my cousin was about 20 yards away shooting a load in her sister’s ear. Good aim….

  • Kimberly
    July 25, 2015 at 8:36 pm

    Wow, do any of you have anything to say that isn’t toxic? I can appreciate that you don’t like the place, and that’s fine. To each their own, but you’re just bashing the PEOPLE! It isn’t that you don’t like it, because no one is forcing any of you to go, you hate the people who do enjoy it.
    Why is it that no one can articulate an opinion with attacking the individuals who disagree with them? Really? How sad.

    This article is what you would call a Hatchet Job. For whatever reason this Turtle something photographed only what he considered bad while ignoring the new 12 million dollar award winning beach front, the ten to 12 top rated restaurants, The restaurant beach front decks with incredible views, the nearly one hundred new state of the art condos…the dozens of brand new much needed businesses, the fact that Home and Garden magazine last month named Hampton Beach as one of the ten best beach destinations in the country.. and, the national ranking in the top ten of the cleanest water beaches in the US. The many nationally acclaimed acts that appear at the fabulous Casino Ballroom. No….this turtle jerk had an agenda… He said he came alone to the beach…hmm… I have been told that, in person, he is quite unattractive and, often rude. If that is the case then I can see how he would be unhappy alone..in a happy place.

    Hampton Beach was and is a deal breaker for me. I can forgive anyone who’s never been there before suggesting to go: it’s like never seeing a bad movie before and not knowing any better. But anyone who has a sincere look of excitement in their eyes as they forget about the driving through scores of traffic, only to walk around among a human purgatory of people who don’t take pride in themselves and then sit in the sand among st a sea of reprobates as if we were all just a bunch of beach whales — I guess we’re just….different

    This was pretty funny and somewhat accurate. HOWEVER, all the pretentious people who truly look down on Hampton Beach and the people that go there…….listen up! There is very little violence, the beach is rated in the top ten cleanest beaches on the east coast, and the location is pretty darn close to Boston. Shop tax free. Indulge in all the junk food you want with nobody judging you. Fireworks every week and free concerts every night. The Casino still hosts some top notch acts. The people that you are trashing are willing to sit in traffic to get there because they appreciate what it has to offer. Ok, keep trashing Hampton Beach if it makes you feel superior. Your loss.

    Did you even go to the beach? I didn’t see any picture of that. I’m pretty sure it was rated in the top 10 cleanest beaches in America. Why didn’t you just stay home. It seems to me that just like any other media outlet with an small minded opinion, you only presented the facts that supported your perception, not the whole truth.

    Best memory of Hampton Beach was going out there with some friends when we were 18 or so. Brought a handle of capt morgans and a 2 liter of warm coke. Saw my friend dig a hole in the sand right next to his towel. He then proceeded to flip over on his belly, piss into the hole, and then flip back over on his towel to drink more piss warm swill. We then cat called a bunch of fat pink tattooed hotties on the strip. Had some Burger King, then drove home, while making a pit stop to diarrhea in the woods and wipe with an old sock found in the back of the car. Ahhhh the memories.

    To the 7-11 of journalism,

    Sorry about your small penis, Turtle Boy! How many tennis players did you have to take in the ass to earn that sweet name? Next time you come to the “Wal-Mart of beaches ask your Mon for some cash so you can park your Pinto and finger bang your certainly miserable wife. While your on your way to purchase your “I’m with stupid” tee-shirt, help yourself to one of the many syringes covering the landscape and jab it in your fucking eye.

    wow, I’m really saddened by the observations and statements made by the main contributor of this article. This person has been unable to capture what is natural about Hampton Beach in a non judgemental way. Anywhere in the world there will be people that aren’t a size 4, that wear clothing suited to their life style or trend from their regions, that ride motorcycles or get around on skateboards, that pay $6 for an ice cream cone or $20 for a twin lobster dinner, that pay money to park in a community that’s all about supply and demand from May 1st to Oct 1 st (the rest of the year is free), that enjoy a day at the beach using restrooms, are protected by top notch lifeguards, that deposit their trash for collection, that are secured by police on foot, by car and on 4 wheelers, that rinse their feet, watch fireworks on Wednesday nights, watch movies on the sand on Monday nights and listen to band concerts every night, for free. Hampton Beach hosts fundraisers such as the Penguin Plunge and several road races that have a cause. The beach is swept nightly and the water quality has risen to the top of Northeast beaches surveyed. The Casino hosts concerts of interest and kids play at the playground where one can hear laughter in the air. There will always be people that look for dust on the window sill….I’m glad as a full time resident of Hampton Beach that I’m not one.

      Well said, and thank you for defining all of the lovely aspects of Hampton Beach. No place is perfect, and of course, not every person on vacation is a Swimsuit model – but the people are friendly, the beach is clean and there is entertainment for everyone (unless you’re trying to find fault and be negative, that is).
      As for his comments about the Casino, I couldn’t disagree more….while there I’ve seen George Carlin, B.B.King, Dierks Bentley, Lewis Black and Fuel. Don’t recall any careers going to die; most of them are legends in their fields.

      June 3, 2016 at 6:14 pm

      Right on, Beach y! I’ve been going there since I was a kid, and I continue to go as an adult. Recent development has made it an ever-appealing destination. Anyone who hasn’t been there within the last few years is in for a surprise.

      Better Homes & Gardens, Boston.com and CBS Boston deemed it a ‘best of’, ‘superstar’ and a top 10 in the country. Yes, the country.

      The Ballroom is one of my favorite venues … anywhere. And it amazes me that it still does a fireworks display every Wednesday.

    Pretty much dead on, the beach village has gone downhill over the past 7 years we have been here. The police
    do little to enforce the laws . The summer rent-a-cops walk by people that litter and throw the thousands of cigarette buts on the ground . Last week thugs threw a new dedicated bench on the rocks smashing it to pieces. Last night a pedestrian was seriously injured by an alleged dui 18 year old driver. The bars have taken over the beach at night. The Hampton Beach Village has turned into an inner city spring break for thugs. Wal Mart Beach is dead on

    I grew up in North Hampton so I am intimately familiar with Hampton Beach. When you’re a kid, the HB is the bomb. So much junk food and video games but then you get a little older, go to high school and wind up taking a job on the boardwalk for the summer and immediately foster a potent hatred for this shithole. The locals all know to avoid this place and even with much nicer beaches with more space and cleaner surroundings, the 495 corridor just cannot help themselves. 90 degrees on a saturday in Lawrence/Lowell/Haverhill, pack up the screaming brood and get ready to dump your week’s earnings on parking, sandy fried seafood and bootleg tee shirts. But hey! How else are you going to show off your tats?

    The year I graduated from high school I worked in a laser tag place between A and B street. The tee shirt place next door to us sold a shirt that had the Trix rabbit on it and copy that read, “SILLY FAGGOT DICKS ARE FOR CHICKS” and they couldn’t keep the shirts in stock. Everyone was wearing them down there that year.

    Yeah. Hampton Beach. Every time a fire breaks out, the locals all hope that the wind is just right and that giant block of driftwood goes up in flames from the front to the back.

    I have to laugh at your long blog bashing the town I grew up in. You made some very much true and absolutely hilarious points.
    I do have to say that no matter how much people hate on Hampton Beach it’s my home and I am very honord to say I grew up next to the ocean. Most of the people that visit the beach come from all walks of life just like anywhere else In the world to experience, enjoy and make memories because they don’t have it all the time.
    I completely agree with the fact that everything is over priced on the Beach but you have to realize that all those business owners have to make what they can May- September so they can pay bills and reopen the next year and so on.
    I think you should go next time to North Beach in Hampton they call it the wall. Sit on the sandy beach and take in your surroundings. The ocean is magnificent and one of a kind and a lot of people will never get to see it, smell it or feel it.
    Your blog made me think that your the people that notice the petty shit like prices, people, and the look of places. You will never sit back block out and not care about everything or anyone around you just to enjoy the ocean view, the sand between your toes. Let all your stress and worries melt away. You should have went there to do what EVERYONE else vacations there for tons of shit to do. 8 miles of sandy beaches and Total RELAXATION.
    Try it sometime, you might feel differently.

    I find it amusing that Mr. McDouche has to explain to people that he lives a mile from the strip. Perhaps he should explain that he would be living in a trailer park in Seabrook if it was not for the tax revenue generated by “the strip”; making it affordable for him to live in North Beach. I listen to a room full of the children of these ingrates as they echo the hate their parents spew of the Hampton strip people. This is why when these children grow up to be future leaders they are so horrible towards the working class. Thanks asshole for solidifying my stance.

      Why are you so negative, that’s an important distinction and says to visitors in a subtle way that the person have a nice getaway and don’t live in the equivalent of Ware, MA with oceanfront. No different than Northshore people who point out they live in “Lynn, near the Swampscott line” or “South Lawrence, near Andover” it paints a more accurate picture of where the person is speaking about.

    Every place has it’s “good & bad” and unfortunately that’s life. I spent the weekend on the a couple of Narragansett Beaches and I can’t tell you how many tattoo’d, loud mouth, loud music playing, not so discreet drinkers, gang banger look alikes I saw and experienced down there. For all it’s warts, Hampton is much better for a family filled day. Again, no place is utopia anymore in this liberal country.

    By the way, at Hampton, if you dare try to drink alcohol on the beach (even using discreet cups), they will nail you & fine you …. which helps keep the drunks from ruing your good time.

    Spot on, Hampton Beach is a shit hole and if I ever see it again I know hell has frozen over. A long time friend of mine owns a nice place there and asks us all the time to visit and I just flat out refuse to return,,, ever. I went there once in the 70s to hangout for a weekend, at the time it was his parents place. It scarred me for life. It hasn’t changed a bit either.

    I had to vote Disney as the worst place. However, their marketing people are fucking brilliant beyond comprehension. They have the entire world population unquestionably convinced that missing out on Disney as a kid somehow robs you of your childhood and any parent that contributes to that is not worthy of the oxygen they breath. When you do visit, they bend you right over, reach in your ass and pull your wallet out, turn it upside down to remove all the contents and toss it on the deck for you to retrieve its smoldering remnants. Then you get to stand in line with a bunch of other morons, for everything, all the while watching rabid parents drag their kids around like their the most important assholes in the world. Kinda like a park full of dooshnozzles from New Jersey. No thanks. If I want to pay lots of money to stand in line, I can hit six flags in Agawam. Lot easier, less expensive and if you get there early its not too bad. Best of all your home at the end of the day.

      Ok. How does Hampton compare to Cape Cod? I went to cape cod. Paid $75 for a week long beach parking pass. First 2 days could not get on the beach because I showed up at 10am, then 9:30 to use my prepaid pass. I learned that I had to get to the parking lot before 8am to park- it sucked. The beach was more rocks than sand-it sucked. Sat in three hours of traffic to get there – it sucked. Paid $1500 to stay in a house 2 miles from a beach, so drove everywhere- it sucked.
      There were art galleries everywhere- it sucked.
      I think I would rather have spencer gifts and tattoos….
