On the East Coast, New Hampshire has one of the shortest coastlines among the New England states. Best known for its beautiful natural scenery, majorly due to the White Mountains, New Hampshire also has stunning seaside places that you should not miss. One of these is Rye, a lovely coastal town on the southeastern corner of the state. Rye occupies about half of New Hampshire’s 29-kilometer (18 miles) coastline, making it a perfect getaway for a beach holiday. At Rye, you will enjoy most of your time outdoors. Try the local food fare, composed of mostly seafood, and hang out by the beach as often as you can. If you are visiting this quaint town soon, you will need a nice place to stay. Check out our top picks for the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Rye, New Hampshire.
