New Hampshire's road to statehood began on the Seacoast, when European fishermen and explorer-woodsmen stopped first at the rocky Isles of Shoals just offshore and then, in 1623, settled on the beach at Rye.
Today's business travelers can visit the same rugged landscapes or indulge in a variety of experiences that four centuries of habitation have crafted into a vibrant, cultural hub. The Seacoast surrounds New Hampshire's 18 miles of Atlantic coastline, embracing sandy beaches and wildlife habitats, working tug-filled waterfronts and stone wall-bordered country roads that blend farms, vineyards and orchards with ocean views. The Seacoast is at once some of New Hampshire's oldest and newest landscape, a place of authentic Colonial history and 21st-century hospitality, flavored by a variety of gifts from the sea and its farthest shores.
Group accommodations include the seaside grand resort, Wentworth by the Sea, state-of-the-art, but reminiscent of a more genteel era. Inspired by its natural surroundings, The New England Center in Durham provides a tranquil atmosphere for business travelers. National chains and seaside inns dot the coastline offering guest rooms and meeting space for groups up to 170 attendees.
Many groups begin their tours of New Hampshire along the coast, drawn by the sound and scent of the sea, and intrigued by all the region offers.
