A Local's Perspective
Seabrook's Oceanfront Village, on the Massachusetts Line
Seabrook Beach is a census-designated place in Rockingham County. It is not a separate town. The 2020 census counted 1,078 residents, up from 992 in 2010. The Census Bureau puts the CDP at 1.47 square miles, of which 1.05 square miles are land and 0.42 square miles — 28.71 percent — are water. The built area sits between the tidal Blackwater River and the Atlantic, from the mouth of the Hampton River in the north to the Massachusetts state line in the south. Most of that land is in the eastern part of the Town of Seabrook. The northern end is not. Thornton Street, Campton Street, Plymouth Street, and parts of Woodstock and Ashland streets are in the Town of Hampton. Street addresses use ZIP code 03874, the same ZIP as the rest of Seabrook. A ZIP follows mail routes, not the census boundary, so 03874 also covers inland Seabrook.
New Hampshire Route 1A is the shore road. Northbound it crosses the Hampton Bridge into Hampton Beach. Southbound it becomes Massachusetts Route 1A in Salisbury. New Hampshire Route 286 leaves Route 1A at the southern end of the beach and runs 2.5 miles west to U.S. Route 1 in the northwestern part of Salisbury. The Seabrook Beach Village District is a real village district inside the town, with commissioners, a clerk, a treasurer, an auditor, and its own building inspector. Its 2025 annual meeting was held April 22 at the Seabrook recreation center, 311 Lafayette Road. Article 6 of that warrant appropriated $130,850 for general expenses and legal fees, and the warrant marked the article as having no impact on the tax rate. The warrant is addressed to inhabitants of the Town of Seabrook who live in the district, so the Hampton streets at the north end are outside it. The roadside sign reads "Seabrook Beach Village District" and credits the Seabrook Beach Civic Association, which is a membership group, not the district government and not a homeowners association.
Sale prices published for 03874 are ZIP prices, not a beach-only median. Redfin's page for 03874, covering the three months ending October 2026, reports a median sale price of $689,646, down 4.2 percent from the same period a year earlier. The median sale price per square foot was $298, up 2.2 percent. Redfin labels the median days on market at 39, and the same page says homes sell after 39 days on average, compared with 60 days the year before. Seventeen homes sold in October 2026, down from 30. A cottage on the ocean side of Route 1A and a house inland on Lafayette Road do not share that median. The 2010 census, the latest housing-unit count on the place's Wikipedia summary, counted 1,042 housing units in the CDP, of which 518 were vacant and 429 of those vacant units were seasonal or vacation properties. That is a 2010 snapshot of a resort pattern, not a current inventory. The listings block on this page is the live search. A Seabrook address is taxed by the Town of Seabrook. The assessing office lists the 2025 rate at $12.40 per $1,000 of assessed value. The town site did not show a 2026 rate at this check. An address on the Hampton streets is taxed by Hampton, not by this rate.

Highlights
Why People Choose Seabrook Beach
Seabrook Beach Village District
A New Hampshire village district inside the Town of Seabrook, with elected commissioners and its own building inspector. The April 22, 2025 annual meeting was at 311 Lafayette Road. The 2025 warrant's $130,850 general-expense article is marked as having no impact on the tax rate. It is a precinct, not an HOA.
Route 1A, Ocean Boulevard
The shore road through the village. North it crosses the Hampton Bridge into Hampton Beach. South it becomes Massachusetts Route 1A at the Salisbury line. Houses and small buildings sit on both sides of the boulevard.
Yankee Fishermen's Cooperative
A working fish market on the harbor side of the beach, at 725 Ocean Boulevard, Seabrook, NH 03874. The cooperative publishes that address and a phone number on its own site.
The inlet and the fishing fleet
The west side of the spit is Hampton Harbor and the Blackwater River, not open ocean. Eastman's Fishing Fleet building, the photograph used on the census place's Wikipedia page, sits on that inlet with boats at the pier. The photograph dates to 2014, so treat it as the place, not as a current hours listing.
Route 286 and the state line
Route 286 leaves Route 1A at the south end of the beach and runs 2.5 miles west to U.S. Route 1 in northwestern Salisbury. The state line itself is the south end of the census place. Salisbury Beach continues the sand on the Massachusetts side.
Blackwater River marsh
The tidal river is the western edge of the CDP. Route 286 crosses the marsh west of the houses. Seabrook Station, the nuclear plant, is inland of that marsh, not on the beach.
Neighborhoods
Seabrook Beach's Neighborhoods & Villages
Ocean Boulevard
Route 1A through the village: houses, cottages, and small commercial buildings between the Atlantic and the harbor, from the Hampton Bridge down to the Massachusetts line.
South end and Route 286
Where Route 1A meets Route 286 and the Salisbury line. The state-line sign is here, and Route 286 is the road west across the marsh toward U.S. Route 1.
Harbor side
The Blackwater River and Hampton Harbor edge, including Yankee Fishermen's Cooperative at 725 Ocean Boulevard. Flood and view here are inlet and marsh, not the open Atlantic.
Northern streets in Hampton
Thornton, Campton, Plymouth, and parts of Woodstock and Ashland are inside the census place and inside the Town of Hampton. Taxes and school assignment follow Hampton. They are outside the Seabrook Beach Village District warrant, which is addressed to Seabrook residents.
Lifestyle
Life in Seabrook Beach
Day-to-day Seabrook Beach is a short barrier of houses between the Atlantic and the harbor. Groceries, the library, and the town offices are inland on Lafayette Road. Hampton Beach is the next village north, and Salisbury Beach is the next village south.

How Seabrook Beach Compares
Seabrook
The town most of Seabrook Beach belongs to. Town offices, the schools through grade 8, and the 2025 tax rate are Seabrook's. A few northern streets of the census place are in Hampton instead.
Hampton Beach
The next village north, across the Hampton Bridge, inside the Town of Hampton. Hampton Beach has its own beach-precinct tax class. Seabrook Beach's 2025 district expense article did not.
Salisbury Beach
The Massachusetts barrier beach directly south, where Route 1A changes state numbers. A different town and a different state.
Newburyport
The nearest MBTA Commuter Rail station, a short drive south. Seabrook Beach has no train stop of its own.
FAQ
Seabrook Beach Real Estate — Frequently Asked Questions
Is Seabrook Beach its own town?
No. Seabrook Beach is a census-designated place, not a municipality. Most of it is in the Town of Seabrook. Thornton Street, Campton Street, Plymouth Street, and parts of Woodstock and Ashland streets are in the Town of Hampton. The 2020 census counted 1,078 people in the CDP. The Seabrook Beach Village District is a precinct inside Seabrook, with its own commissioners and building inspector. It is not a separate town, and the Hampton streets are outside the district warrant.
What is the property tax rate at Seabrook Beach?
A parcel in the Town of Seabrook is taxed at Seabrook's rate. The assessing office lists the 2025 rate at $12.40 per $1,000 of assessed value. The town site did not show a 2026 rate at this check, on November 13, 2026. The village district's 2025 warrant appropriated $130,850 for general expenses and legal fees and marked that article as having no impact on the tax rate. That is not the same thing as Hampton Beach, which publishes a separate beach-precinct rate. Addresses on the Hampton streets are taxed by Hampton. Read the town, and the class, on the bill.
What schools serve Seabrook Beach?
Seabrook addresses are in the Seabrook schools through grade 8 and then at Winnacunnet. Seabrook Elementary (pre-kindergarten through grade 4) and Seabrook Middle (grades 5–8) are both at 256 Walton Road. Grades 9–12 attend Winnacunnet High School at 1 Alumni Drive in Hampton, a cooperative with Hampton, Hampton Falls, and North Hampton. The northern streets that sit in the Town of Hampton follow Hampton's assignment instead. None of these campuses is on the oceanfront strip. Confirm the town on the deed, and the current assignment with the district, for a specific address.
What do homes sell for at Seabrook Beach?
Redfin does not publish a separate median for the Seabrook Beach CDP. Its ZIP 03874 report for the three months ending October 2026 shows a median sale price of $689,646, down 4.2 percent from a year earlier, a median of $298 per square foot, a median of 39 days on market, and 17 sales in October 2026. That ZIP is the whole town, including inland houses. Use the live listings on this page for what is actually for sale, and treat the median as ZIP context, not a price for any one cottage.
Is Seabrook Beach in a flood zone?
The beach sits between the Atlantic and a tidal river, so many lots flood, and they do not all flood the same way. Redfin's Flood Factor for ZIP 03874 — the whole town, not the beach alone — rates the risk extreme and estimates that 890 properties, about 34 percent, face a severe flood risk over the next 30 years. The same page rates wind risk severe, with hurricanes the main driver. An oceanfront lot and a lot west of the marsh will not share that ZIP score. Check the current FEMA map for the specific address.
Do Seabrook Beach homes have an HOA?
There is no village-wide homeowners association. The Seabrook Beach Village District is a government precinct, and the Seabrook Beach Civic Association is a membership group. Neither one is an HOA that comes with the deed. Condominium buildings have their own associations, with dues that can cover insurance, the roof, or shared grounds. A house on its own lot often has none. Ask for the documents on any home that is part of a recorded association, and read what the dues actually cover.
How do you commute from Seabrook Beach to Boston?
Seabrook Beach has no train station. The usual drive is inland to I-95 south, on the order of an hour off-peak and longer at peak. The nearest MBTA Commuter Rail stop is Newburyport, a short drive south, on the Newburyport/Rockport Line into North Station. Route 286 is the local road west off the south end of the beach; it meets U.S. Route 1 in Salisbury, 2.5 miles from Route 1A.
