Rise hundreds of feet above Hampton Beach for a clear-eyed view of New England’s seacoast — Isles of Shoals, blue Atlantic swells and the distant White Mountains. This family-friendly parasail departs from Hampton Harbor and includes safety gear, a licensed crew, and optional dry takeoff and landing.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You lift off from a bobbing boat, the chute fills and the Atlantic pulls you away from the shoreline — Hampton Beach below, the horizon opening to Maine and Massachusetts. Salt wind tugs at your jacket, gulls wheel through the thermal, and the ocean seems to dare you to look farther: Isles of Shoals to the east, the dark line of the White Mountains on a clear day.

Sun and wind protection

Temperatures drop quickly aloft; pack a lightweight windbreaker even on warm days at the beach.
