The beach and ice cream are the perfect match. It’s probably an association built in childhood when a visit to the beach meant wandering over to an ice cream shack hungry and covered in sand, or chasing after the town ice cream truck. No matter where the connection arose, it’s undeniable that a creamy treat and water views are the perfect match (whether or not you’re getting sandy). These New Hampshire spots deliver all of that childhood charm, and all of the sugary treats your heart desires.
