One of everyone’s favorite things to do is go riding on the beach! Lets be proud of our stewardship on the lands we use & that includes following the rules put in place. If any of our ambassadors kindly remind you of the rules, please be respectful towards them.

Horseback riding is permitted on Hampton Beach (from Hampton Beach South to Boar’s Head) from October 1 – April 30.

Horse trailer parking is allowed at the Hampton Beach South parking lot ONLY.

Please keep the parking area, path to the beach, and all other areas above high tide line clean of manure, hay, and bedding. If you find “deposits” left by other equestrian users, please be a good steward and clean it up on their behalf.

Res 7300 Admin. Rule: Owners shall clean up and remove offsite within a reasonable time but prior to leaving the site all waste eliminated by their equine or other utility animal from public traffic areas and areas where the public congregates.  These areas are defined as paved sidewalks and walkways, maintained play areas and athletic fields, lawns and fields maintained by regular mowing and associated with a developed recreation area, campsites, fresh water beaches, areas above the high tide mark at Hampton Beach, improved features such as picnic areas, staging and gathering areas, and parking lots and trail heads. Disposal of stall waste, hay or manure shall not be permitted on DRED properties.

Trail rules in addition to the above:

• Do not leave equines unattended.
• Clean up and remove offsite site all waste where the public congregates.  (Paved sidewalks and walkways, maintained play areas and athletic fields, lawns and fields maintained by regular mowing and associated with a developed recreation area, campsites, fresh water beaches, picnic areas, staging and gathering areas.)
