Salisbury Beach Conditions & Surf Report

Salisbury Beach is a classic North Shore family beach at the New Hampshire line, anchored by a state reservation with a long sandy shore, campgrounds, and an old-fashioned beachfront amusement center. A wide, dune-backed Atlantic beach popular with summer campers and families, it's one of the more accessible North Shore stretches. The North Atlantic here is cold even in summer — typically the low-to-upper 60s°F at the August peak — and cold the rest of the year. Check the safety flag and rip-current risk above, be ready for cold water, and swim near a lifeguard.
