Nature
Coastal state park with tide pools, salt marsh, and Seacoast Science Center — marine biology, intertidal ecology, and New Hampshire coastal geology.
What families say
Families consistently love Odiorne Point for its easy, well-maintained trails, ocean views, and mix of history (WWII bunkers, old military structures) and nature (birdwatching, varied vegetation), plus practical perks like a playground, picnic tables, and flush toilets. It suits a wide range of ages and paces—from a relaxing afternoon walk to a full day or two if you add in the beach and science center. Note that a couple of reviewers hadn't actually visited the science center themselves, so it's worth confirming hours if that's a must-see for your trip.
Ages 4–16
