Hampton Beach Casino Events
Hampton Beach AttractionsThere's always plenty to do at Hampton Beach. On sunny, Summer days thousands of people can be found enjoying the sand, sun and cool water. If you don't like crowds, visit the beach in the Winter! Big waves are often found at this beach. A recent change in the Hampton Beach rules allows the use of boogie-boards in the water. Kids love to ride the waves on these mini surf boards. When the tide is out, the flat, hard sands in the inter-tidal area provide a perfect spot for Frizbee, wiffle ball or other activities. Dozens of hotels, motels, gift shops, restaurants, T-shirt shops and candy stores line Ocean Blvd. Fried dough, salt water taffy and ice cream are just a small sample of the edible treats you'll find. Miniature golf, spin-art and slot car racing are just a few of the things vacationers enjoy at the beach. Hampton Beach ArcadesHampton Beach has at least 4 big arcades for enjoyment by kids of all ages. Most are full of video games of all shapes and sizes. Pinball, ski-ball, air-hockey, video-poker, shoot-em-up, knock-em down, table-tennis, ping-pong, pool-tables, slot-car race track, spin art, toddler rides, photo booths...etc. You name it, it's there. Other things that can be found at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire include: T-shirts, toe-rings, temporary tattoos, fortune tellers, fried dough, candy shops, gift shops, post cards, large playground, nightly entertainment on the Hatch Shell stage, aka band stand, deep sea fishing, fireworks, caricature portrait artists...send e-mail if missed something important. (You'll need to fix the address.) Miss Hampton Beach PageantEach year in July, the Hatch Shell stage is the setting for the Miss Hampton Beach Pageant. Hampton Beach CasinoThe Hampton Beach Casino building was erected in the late 1890s and has been remodeled several times. When I was a kid, the Hampton Beach Casino building housed a bowling alley and a movie theater. It is also home to the biggest arcade I've ever seen, the Funarama. My mother called these arcades 'Penny Arcades'. I guess when she was young, a penny was all it took to use the games and amusements in these arcades. Today, many games are $1.00 or more. Hampton Beach Casino building was also home to Pat Dee's glass blowing shop, where hundreds of hand-made glass ornaments were on display. As kids we spent lots of time watching Pat work his magic on the glass, forming it into beautiful shapes like swans and the famous clipper ship. Pat Dee worked behind his orange-flame torch, wearing special glasses. The image on this page shows the Hampton Beach Casino building as I remember it from the early 1960s. Another long-gone attraction at the Hampton Beach Casino was the Silhouette Shop where a woman (Lillian G. Clark) would cut out a silhouette profile of customers and mount it in a frame. A reader of this page who wrote in, below, reminded me of a place called the Agape Inn Coffee shop, which is also long gone. Today the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom hosts concerts all Summer long. Junkin's Candy, no longer in operation, always had a salt water taffy machine running in the window, with a familiar chinkita-chink sound. Teens enjoy the strip at night for its boy-meets-girl potential. Another popular past-time at Hampton Beach is cruzin' the strip in that souped-up car. How many times can you make the loop in 1 night? An annual sand sculpting contest attracts some of the best sand artists in the area, not to mention the people who love to gawk at these shaped piles of sand. Deep-sea fishing trips leave every day from Hampton Harbor for full and 1/2 day trips. Free summer-time concerts at the Hatch Shell stage provide entertainment on most Summer evenings. You can expect live entertainment every evening at the Hatch shell Stage. Hampton Beach Fireworks displays can be seen almost every Wednesday night during Summer months. My personal experience with Hampton beach began as a young child in the early 60s. Our family vacationed at Hampton Beach, NH nearly every summer. My mother, being from nearby Newburyport, Massachusetts, enjoyed Hampton Beach in her younger years so it was only natural for her to bring her children to Hampton. Next to Christmas, the Saturday that started our Hampton Beach vacation was the best day of the year for me. We'd rent a cottage for a 1 week stretch, sometimes 2, usually from Harris Real Estate. My sister Mary reminded me the a few times we stayed 2 weeks. Perkins Ave, a dead end off of Ashworth Ave, was the location of many of our rentals, providing a quieter setting than some of the cottages closer to the busy Ocean Blvd. The empty lots at the end of Perkins Ave. provided a place for us kids to play when we were not at the beach. The nearby tide pools were a great place to catch minnows using a milk bottle, bread and a length of string. (Milk bottles were glass in those days!) A small wooden dock (depicted at right ) next to the tide pool was the setting for countless family pictures. Very often on Friday nights, during our Hampton vacation, we'd drive down to Salisbury Beach amusement park. There were many more amusement rides there years ago. A roller coaster and merry-go-round (which I called flying horses) are some of the long gone rides. As my siblings grew we vacationed at Hampton Beach less often. In the 90's, with a son of my own, I took my family to vacation at Hampton Beach.
