What a great place to hike, bike ride, walk or run on along the coast. One of my favorite spots In Spring, Summer and Fall. Check out the science center when they re-open, hike up the endless shoreline for a surreal feeling of the ocean, research the history before visiting and definitely check out the bunkers. Pack a lunch and enjoy a picnic along the water. Sunset and twilight is spectacular too at Odiorne!

Love this place. I always stop by it whenever I do my tri-state bike ride. You can watch the beautiful Atlantic, go to their science museum, hike on a large web of trails, use their playground for kids.

I have been visiting since I was a kid. Either I played on the playground, explored the rocks at low tide looking for life forms, ate at picnics, rode my bike or swam in the beach ️ next to the park, though I always found it to rocky (Yo Adrian!). I even partied there as a teenager.Ive bought my kids here for walks and the playground, which is closed right now, bummer!! My daughter made a beeline for it and I had to tell her Sorry, its closed.Fee is low for getting in, but, you have to do it online. You can combine a trip to the Seacoast Science Center and parking admission. Ive had no problems with phone reception at the park.Park is huge, long trails and sidewalks. Boat launch is in a separate area. Old forts are at the park as well. Very little litter. Bicycles welcome, pets arent. Great place for kids. Nice ocean views. Bathroom was in decent shape.I recommend a visit.Update: Saturday afternoon, November 2020; Returned for a hike and to see if Christina Levitans review of places inside the park were what I remembered. They were. The 155 Gun mounts, the bunker and ammunition storage bunker have their own spot on Google Maps. If you explore the entire park, you will come across them.Even with the cold and Fall foilage almost gone, the park is popular and charging admission. The playground is still closed, but, kids were playing on the equipment while wearing facemasks. Cant the playground be reopened? People are being cautious.Trails to explore and rocks to climb! Great views all around!

Interesting place great views , historical also. Great trails / paths to walk or bike. Picnic tables to sit and relax open spaces to play saw some people with a volleyball net etc.

Great trails to walk around near the Ocean. Along with the Ocean are some semi wooded trails. Its very tranquil. For history buffs, there are remnants of battery emplacements from WW II

Wonderful place to visit. Tidepools, trails, and WWII era defense remains to explore. On line reservations should be made to ensure entry. Covid protocols are in place, crowds are limited. The Science Center is only open on weekends to the public, daycampers only during the week.

Beautiful! Very good place to take a walk during COVID - I think we saw maybe 15 people during the whole thing, and everyone was respectfully social distancing and/or wearing masks when people came by.

Great for a paddle or an easy bike ride. Lots of flat trails with a few short moderately technical trails. Paddle out to the Atlantic or stay protected inside. Had a couple of great summer days here during Covid. Parking Reservation required in advance.

Its amazing! There are two sections of the beach, one of the sections is very rocky so if your kids like finding crabs thats a very good place! I watched a ton of kids put a ton of crabs in their buckets. The second section is just sand and if you just want to relax and swim its just the place for you!

So gorgeous. Great for photos. The science center is also a nice stop for kids. The playground is huge and will be a ton of fun when it reopens.

Friendly park staff, reasonable entrance fee. Perfect few hours in my inflatable kayak.

Really gorgeous place, about $8 per person to go in and I usually hate paying for places but went back and paid without hesitation cause it’s just more private and more lush with nature.The water/horizon is better at high tide.A bit of a rocky terrain in some spots, small/medium rocks vs large chunky ones though.

This is a great and very different beach experience, especially for kids. It is a big, calm inlet. The shore is very rocky, so be sure to wear water shoes. It has giant rocky areas on both sides and when the tide goes down it leaves huge tidal pools. These pools are filled with sea creatures that kids love to explore. There is a big area where people have stacked rock towers in remembrance of loved ones that is really cool. They also have the Seacoast Science Center, hiking trails, a big playground and a great picnic area!

This place used to be my childhood, going back to it after so many years its really amazing seeing how can they have only improved the place! very kind employees and plenty of people to tell you where to go if you get lost. I for one love the wildlife i can see

I had been here before on field trips with my kids but had never walked the trails. This place is now one of our favorites and will definitely go back!Great rocks with PLENTY of space for multiple people to allow for social distancing. Same thing with the picnic tables. It was so nice to eat lunch next to the ocean.

Plenty of parking. Great place to spend the afternoon. Swimming is very limited to a small beach area which tends to be littered with very smelly seaweed. Picnicking, walking or biking are probably your best bet. Great place to push off on a bike ride into Portsmouth.

Gorgeous park. Nice area to walk with ocean views.

What a lovely place to spend somstims outside on a beautiful day. If you like pleasure bike rides this is a must. Rest room was very clean and only $4 a person for the day.

I have been visiting this State Park for years. Other than the middle of summer there is very little traffic this far up the coast compared to Hampton Beach area just a short drive south from Odiorne. Not only are there a wide variety of trails to walk, there is also a small sandy strip of beach as well. Low tide reveals amazing tide pools great for observing with or without children. I always go with my dogs and see many others walking their dogs here as well. On and off leash. This Park also boasts historical attractions like old army bunkers and a view of the nearby lighthouse just across the strait. I recommend this as a destination for anyone with dogs or children who want to get away from the more beaten paths. Its also a great place to go alone to walk, swim, sunbathers or to simply relax and enjoy the scenery.

Great place to just hang out and walk around. Very cool historical structures as well. Definitely would come back.

Great place to go for a walk. The playground there is big and theres just so much to do. Also I recommend visiting the bunkers, theyre a great sight.

Great trails, history and science center. Ocean front was varied and more than just another sandy beach, which I loved. Great facilities including picnic tables. The staff were so nice, answering my questions about different plants growing wild. All around excellent and well maintained park, with truly something for everyone.

Entrance fee is $4 pre Adult.Great place for picnic and family time with kids. The view is decent but nothing special.

So much to see and do. There are trails to walk, structures to explore, tide pools to check our and more. Great for kids of all ages and adults as well. The Seacoast Science Center is always a good time as well. Checkout the resources for kids they have online for the tide pools l.

Unforgettable view. A quaint beach. The wooded trail infested with wild life and flowers. Hate Im going to miss this place.

Good views of the Atlantic. Wish they had more shady areas or perhaps a umbrella.

One of my favorite places on the planet. I come here alot. Kayaking, biking, hiking, tanning, swimming. Great air, beautiful views, and beaches. On top of that the trails are non stop, allowing you to explore and get lost without getting lost.

Beautiful day at low tide. The water was amazingly calm. The park required a reservation but the person at the gate was polite. She gave us info to go online and after a few minutes we were ready to enter.

Great trails, beautiful scenery, and fun tide pools. Sea science center is neat too. The kids love it.

Nice park. Clean playground. There are no trash cans available during the winter/early spring so please carry out your trash! The parents are friendly and there is ample parking. Lots of walk paths. Wheelchair friendly. Dog friendly. Lots of kids. Not a good place to swim.

First time here and well be back! Cool day but we still enjoyed the walk in our jackets. . Its so peaceful and Im sure it will be even prettier in a month or so when trees are green. Next time well take a picnic.

This is such a perfect spot for engagement photos! I had a couple who got engaged here and we went back to do their engagement session. You can walk all the way to the end and sit on the rocks by the water, plus theres all of these little paths through the woods. Gorgeous spot!

One of my favorite places. Playground, beach, walking and biking trails, picnic by the sea.

Beautiful place ,wasnt free but the bathrooms were open which makes it worth it

I went to the Science Center and helped with ocean debris cleanup. I got the chance to walk through the Science Center. It was very cool. Definitely check it out. Its a great area for kids and adults with exhibits of sea creatures and posters full of great marine information. The park itself has a rocky beach with plenty of seating. The organize events and have plenty of volunteer opportunities. Its paid parking too. I didnt have to pay because I volunteered, maybe it was because I was on a motorcycle, lol, not sure.

Great State Park in new Hampshire. Wonderful vidw of the ocean and so much rich history.

Amazing location, in desperate need of management of the interior of the park. Youll see hundreds of dead and fallen trees. The water side of the park is handsomely manicured though.

Nice and quiet place by the water. Plenty of shades for picnicking and relaxing. Clean bathroom. Seems popular to family with small children.

It was disappointing. We reserved parking for the day. Park attendant was lovely. We went for the tidepools, but it was really dirty. We ended up leaving without staying too long.

Historic, educational, fun for children and adults. The beach is rocky,so wear water shoes. Children love the tidepools!

It is a gorgeous, family friendly place, with something for everyone!. Even the snarky teenagers will enjoy themselves.

Score... what a Chance find... a little of everything.. playground, picnic tables, freen grass, trails, some beach, rocks and ocean breezes. Nice little stop to picnic or relax during long trips

An amazing place to spend the day. Lovely trails, a beach, a green with picnic tables, and a rock wharf are some of the things in the park. Theres also a science center, and over a mile of trails connecting them all. Dotted throughout the trails are old concrete structures left over from the days where it was a military installation. All of these leaves you with a beautiful place to visit full of things to do and see. I first discovered Odiorne Point about two years ago and Ive been coming back every few months ever since. Bonus, its also a super good place to go and watch the sunset in the summer!

My Wife and I have visited the park for 20 years now. We always enjoy the walks and the beach.

Went here on the recommendation of my brother and was not disappointed! Really cool little corner with a playground picnic area with an oceanside view. Definitely suggest wearing water shoes if you go down to the beach to look for crabs. All in all will be planning a trip back

Lovely view from promentory out into the sea. Plenty of picnic tables. Reservation system was straightforward.

So cool here! I found this button there... not sure what year its from... but would love to find out

Great place for a little hike. In the fall the forest is breath taking! Your close to the marina too. You can see the islands from there. You also have some Beth rooms and picnic tables if you want to have lunch there to enjoy all the beauty.

Nice park with some great views and nice easy walking trails considering there are Rocky areas. There are some old military structures to be explored which are heavily graffitied. Some of the graffiti is pretty cool and artistic but some is just a blight. I liked the shark with laser beams graffiti at least. I think this would be a good place to bring kids to look for critters in the rocky pools of water in warm weather.

This park is absolutely beautiful! We loved our visit here. Its sad to see so much graffiti around the various buildings.

One of my favorite places to go walking in NH, you can be right by the water or venture through the woods! Lots of great NH history here.

Great place to relax and watch the ocean. Calming and tranquil.

Excellent park areas for little ones & big ones who just want to sit & chill & enjoy the views. Swimming is not the main attraction here though.

Great place to run and bring your bearded dragon!

Odiorne is a fun place to see animals in their ocean habitat and to enjoy a walk, bike ride, or a picnic

My family loves Odiorne! Tide pools, rocky coast, nature trails, bike path, amazing playground - this park has it all!

Best little park on the coast, low-volume crowds, big-volume peacefulness. Worth every cent of the $4 cover charge.

Awesome park to take your family. Two rocky beaches and lots of tide pools to explore and tons of both sunny and shady areas to relax. We will be back many times. Bathroom was clean and well maintained.

Nice spot for jogging, cycling. This is a historical spot for both WW II and first english settlers in new England. There is a kids playing area and picnic spots. At the sandy beach you could enjoy the sunset. There is sea coast science center to see and touch local marine animals from the gulf of Maine.

Nice place to walk the dog, picnicking on the ocean with the kids. Great sweeping views of the Isles of Shoals. Classic New England coastline, although its torn up a bit right now from the restoration project/removal invasive non-native species. Going to look great this summer!

Short but scenic park along the ocean, science museum for the kids, parking available. Call ahead.

Still retains ocean and beach feel.

Great place for family time, picnics, short ocean side walks

So beautiful here. Theres a nice playground for the kids and we love walking the shore line too. Plenty of trails to check out but we havent explored them all yet.

Great place to go tide pooling at low tide.

Good park for walking, even in the winter! Views of the lighthouse and close to the science center. An interesting submarine is on display too!

Fun place to go with kids. Great beach.

Great views great walking trails

I was there for a Celebration of Life gathering, but the area was beautiful.

Nice place for a hike and ocean views

Simply THE best launching point from a kayak in NH. So many options: marsh, harbor, open ocean, explore the islands, or Portsmouth Harbor.

Beautiful spot to go for a walk through the woods, have a picnic, and check out the water views.

I was out for a drive and some conversation with my best friend. So easy to get to(w/ Google maps or w/o maps). Arrived at around noon on a Sunday and found it very family friendly. Also a great place for relaxing conversations with a BFF.

Beautiful park along the water. We strolled along the beach and climbed rocks along the way. Then we walked along several trails letting out at a jetty with a lighthouse in the distance. The trails lead up and down and through the woods. It was fun exploring, but the park isnt big enough for us to get lost. We only saw a tiny part of the whole park.

Beautiful trails, beach and scenery along with history for a whole day out!

Beautiful and lightly-trafficked in the early spring

It’s a nice place for walking, biking, picnic. Rocky beaches as well as play area for kids. Clean restrooms facilities are available.

Got lucky with a 45 and sunny day in January. Happy to spend the afternoon at this great park and enjoy the waves rolling in at the coast.

With places startinf to.open up and social distancing still important, this place was great to go to. Lots of places to walk, sit, and view the ocean from.

Good learning experience for the whole family. Museum is knowledgeable. Old bunkers and just a great place to hike and just take a walk along the water. Water boarding in the summer. Out houses.

Fun for walks, good place to take the kids.

Such a wonderful walk! The views were amazing! Ill add more photos later.

Love this place, and Ive been going for decades. Great variety of nature, and history. Well maintained paths, and a small zoo like science center. Just wish I could bring my dog on the trails.

One of my favorite spots to go to for photoshoots. You get woods, beach, and a perfect sunset for the best golden hour lighting!

Odiorne State Park is a beautiful addition to our NH Seacoast area. It has a variety of activities including several walking trails through wooded areas and along the coastline, a playground for toddlers as well as older children, as well as a science center for families to explore and educate themselves on local marine life and their environment. There are several old bunkers located on the grounds worth exploring in the woods, or you can explore the shores for plenty of interesting finds. It is beautiful in every season of the year and definitely worth the visit if you are a family who loves nature.

Love this place especially in the off season. Beautiful ocean views, an indoor interactive museum thats great for smaller kids,and trails to explore.

Been visiting Odiorne Point since I was a kid. History, hiking, beach, playground, tide pools, gorgeous views, and WWII bunkers. This is New Hampshire.Seacoast Science Center is a great place to bring the kids. Touch tank and other exhibits will keep them and the adults entertained for an afternoon.Hiking is gentle and easy.

Great place to picnic, play (playground), family party, hike, bike, birdwatch, sun, wade in tide pools, and swim when high tide. Restrooms had soap and paper towels on Labor Day, nice surprise. Smoking is allowed unfortunately, had to move around to get away from some. Note: pets are not allowed - someone earlier mentioned bringing his dog. Under 6 and over 65 are free. Adult and child (6-12) was $7. After Oct. 15 and before April 15 there is no gate fee.

Lovely park for walking. Note no dogs and no sandy beach. There was a small antique car show in the parking lot when we went on a Sunday. Tidal pools are a ton of fun to poke around in. There is also a small seacoast science center here.

Beautiful place to spend the afternoon all year round

We love hunting for seaglass here. The beaches are perfectly quiet. Lovely spot to take kids and enjoy the day in the sun.

Really beautiful stop on an epic road trip through New Hampshire and Maine. Will definitely come back to do some more exploring

Just a great relaxing place

Nice trails and ocean views.

Great ocean views. Very relaxing.

Beautiful place to breathe in fresh coastal breezes followed by a short stretch of 1A drive along coast where you can looking at gorgeous estates before the craziness of the beach scene farther south

Excellent spot for picnics by the sea.

Ive been to Odiorne several times and love the walking trails and the grill setups.

Beautiful views, a little history, nice trails, cool playground. Great place for everyone....kids can play and run around, good spot to relax and read a book, have a picnic. L

This is a great place to take the family, theres things for kids to do and there are lots of trails to check out and its right on the water so plenty of things to check out, unfortunately right now because of Covid19 you have to make reservations to get in!
