There are a lot of reasons to love New Hampshire, but the weather isn’t always one of them. While the novelty of winter (and even those cooler spring days) is nice, it wears off pretty quickly as the temperatures stay cold. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for places and things that make life feel just a little warmer here. High on that list is one particular restaurant located on the beach. They open earlier than many of the other seasonal spots and it’s always a good way to raise our summer-loving spirits.

For a taste of summer without actual summer head to Ray's Seafood in Rye. With uniquely beachy decor and some of the best seafood around this place is a must-visit.

The beachfront location cannot be beat. The views are incredible and the proximity makes it easy to walk off those lobster rolls with a beach stroll.

Ray's Seafood has been around for more than 50 years which means they know how seafood should be done.

At Ray's the lobster is caught by their staff, which means you'll have a hard time finder anything fresh on the Seacoast.
