About Rye Harbor State Park

A peninsula called Ragged Neck forms the core of this state park, giving visitors sightlines across the Atlantic to the Isles of Shoals and into the town harbor. The setting supports saltwater fishing and picnicking, with benches, picnic tables, a pavilion, and restrooms placed along the shoreline. The land sits directly on the ocean rather than around an inland lake or river, putting the harbor and open water within easy reach of the park's grounds.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
