Discover the Best New Hampshire Fall Foliage
The New Hampshire Seacoast is a well-loved four-season destination in New Hampshire. During the summer months, visitors descend on the beaches to swim and relax, and in the winter, they come for cozy and romantic getaways filled with great food, history, art, and culture. There are so many unique and fun things to do on the Seacoast of New Hampshire throughout the year – we can hardly blame people for visiting!
Fall, though, is a season unto itself. Fall is arguably one of the busiest seasons in New Hampshire, thanks to the rapid appearance of vibrant New Hampshire fall foliage. Even if it’s not the busiest, it’s undoubtedly the most beautiful. There are just as many things to do on the Seacoast of New Hampshire during the fall as in the summer, but it takes on extra character thanks to the development of New Hampshire fall foliage.
