Review:

Only a ten-minute drive out of Portsmouth into the local town of New Castle, Great Island Common is one of the best beach parks in the area. It covers around 32 acres in total and is open all-day long from January through to December, offering a wonderful recreation spot for people of all ages come rain or shine. Simple amenities can be found here and there are some extraordinary coastal views, offering a really authentic New England beach experience. Try visiting early in the morning and watching the sun come up for a sight you’ll never forget.
