Sorry, there is no convenient public transportation outside of metropolitan areas in the U.S. You can take a C&J bus to Portsmouth (from NYC or Boston) and from Portsmouth, it’s a 30-minute drive to Hampton Beach. I recommend getting an Uber or asking someone in advance because a cab will probably cost you another $100. Taxi rates are ridiculous on the seacoast precisely due to the lack of public transportation.

There is also the amtrack that leaves north Station, they could take it to Exeter and take a 20 min Uber to the beach, or stay on the train and go up to wells in Maine and get a better beach!

You’re welcome. As an option, make some friends online and arrange for someone to pick you up from the bus station. Also, just to warn you, housing is another issue on the seacoast, especially since covid. I hope you have made arrangements or are working on that now. It will be very hard and very expensive to find that on the spot. Anyway, best of luck and I hope you enjoy your summer!

They keep houses for summer students. They are usually the worst you’ve ever seen, not updated from the 50s and they charge $200/person per week.
