New Hampshire

The New Hampshire seacoast is less than 20nm in length.

However, that length includes the mouth of the Piscataqua River, which leads to Portsmouth, NH - the only safe harbor without a sometimes-hazardous entrance bar between Cape Elizabeth (ME) and Cape Ann (MA).

It also includes the Southernmost islands of the scenic Isles of Shoals, and the secluded Little Harbor, location of the excellent Wentworth Marina - which is shuttlebus-close to Portsmouth, but avoids the stiff river currents.

(Wentworth Marina is associated with the gloriously restored Wentworth-by-the-Sea resort hotel, where President Theodore Roosevelt hosted the 1905 Russo-Japanese peace conference that won him a Nobel Peace Prize).

• Cruising Guide to the New Engand Coast excellent sailors' background supplement to either of the above.
