Pirate's Cove Beach

Date visited: 10/11/2023

This is a pretty nice town beach in Rye, NH. Dogs are allowed from the day after Labor Day until the Friday before Memorial Day, and allowed in the summer months before 9AM and after 7PM. It seems to be a popular place for the locals to walk their dogs. As you can see, we were visited by one along the way. The beach is three quarters of a mile long, and we walked the length of it and back.

Periwinkle Cove

Date visited: 7/29/2025

This was the first stop of three on our New Hampshire shore adventure. There are a number of small parking areas with free one hour parking along Ocean Boulevard, just south of Odiorne Point State Park. Be careful to stay south of park, because dogs are never allowed at the state park, but are allowed on this part of the shoreline. The area is rocky, but there are two cobble beaches here as well. Reviews online indicated that there were elaborate rock stacks, but we only saw a few, and they weren't very impressive. It was a super hot day, but I swear the temperature dropped 10 degrees as we got closer to the shore. It's a good spot for the dogs to get into the water on a hot day, especially since they aren't allowed at the nearby state park.
