ABOUT OUR DEPARTMENT

The Town of Seabrook was incorporated in 1768. It is located in the southeast corner of the state and borders the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Seabrook is a vibrant community and popular vacation destination. From its pristine beach to the lobster pounds, as well as an abundance of shopping opportunities, there's something for everyone.

Seabrook's ideal location in the center of New England makes it convenient not only to the Atlantic Ocean, but to nearby destinations like the White Mountains and the wonderful lakes of southern and central New Hampshire.
