At the mouth of the Piscataqua River downstream from where I live, Fort Foster has long guarded the entrance to Portsmouth Harbor. It’s now a town park.
By purchasing a season pass each year, I’ve come to consider it my private patch on the ocean — one shared with some folks who’ve become sunny friends as we swim and then warm in the rays.
The rocky shoreline allows a fine introduction to tide pool life, while the pebble beaches have their own experience. There are also some sandy pocket beaches and a trail to meander while looking out over the cobalt Atlantic.

Beautiful location, you have a lovely place to wander. 🙂
Such a joy to have company like you to share it …
Thank you, the great outdoors is a big source of peace for me and I’m stuck in a server dungeon today doing the work of nightmares so it’s especially lovely today.
