Wallis Sands State Beach Details
If you are looking for sand, sun, and swimming, then look no further than this state park near Rye. The sandy shoreline stretches for what feels like miles along the Atlantic Coast with unobstructed views of the Isle of Shoals. The waters are warm and calm, which also makes this a great family-friendly destination. The history of the beach dates back to the 19th-century when it was originally used as a life-saving station for shipwrecked sailors and mariners. In the early 1900s, it was then used by the US Coast Guard, although the station was shut down in 1938 and reopened as a state park 20 years later.
