LIVE CLOCKDock wisdom
The fishing and whale-watch fleet docks at the state pier and along Hampton Harbor at the south end of the beach.
Al Gauron has run whale-watch and deep-sea fishing trips from Hampton for over 75 years and guarantees a whale sighting.

Book ahead for summer weekends and the Wednesday fireworks cruise -- boats fill fast in July and August.
