Allow for some extra money to park by meter or at a lot, and to buy some sunscreen and Tums, and you have, as they say in New England, a &#8220;wicked awesome summah&#8221; day &#8212; translated, that&#8217;s a really good time!<\/p>\n<p>For the rest of this summer, keep in mind fun events like Wednesday night fireworks, Monday Night Movies on the Beach (free admission), and the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival (Sept. 6-8, 2019).

Many famous national and international music acts play here.<\/p>\n<p>Considering some New England vacation seaside towns can get overly pretentious and expensive &#8211; and that so many travelers are trying to get the most for their money during a bad economy &#8212; Hampton Beach looks better and better each day when it comes to a cheap travel bargain by the sea. It&#8217;s not refined by any means, but the comfort foods are tremendously satisfying and the beach fantastic. What more could one want when in search of a cheap travel destination between Memorial Day Weekend and Labor Day Weekend?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2918\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_2918\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 1000px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-cheap-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/P1150747.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2918\" title=\"Beach at Hampton Beach NH\" src=\"http:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-cheap-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/P1150747-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Image of the beach at Hampton Beach, N.H. \" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-cheap-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/P1150747-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-cheap-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/P1150747-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_2918\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The beach at Hampton Beach, NH (photo by Joan H.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Related cheap beach side travel articles and resources:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-cheap-travel\/?p=2613\">Revere Beach<\/a> for a cheap Boston area day trip<\/p>\n<p>Summer amusements and beach at <a href=\"http:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-cheap-travel\/?p=1268\">Old Orchard Beach, Maine<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Like this post on Hampton Beach, N.H.?
