Beaches up North aren't anything like beaches I back home.
For one thing, a lot of them, the area is called a 'shore' rather than a 'beach'.
A lot of places, you have to pay parking with a meter.
In New Hampshire, sand is yellow - darker than my tan sandbox sand when I was a little thing, and further North, it's actually gray! Southern Maine beaches are rocky in several places, so people have to wear shoes and bring a chair.
Hampton Beach in New Hampshire is super-popular, but it's so crowded and choked with tacky beach places that it makes Panama City Beach look like the Riviera. I know, you're thinking, "yeah - Redneck Riviera" - but I'm serious. Hampton Beach makes Panama City look gooooooooood.
There are so many things on this trip that I have learned to appreciate about New England, but on beaches, we have sure got them beat.
