Welcome to the HBAC Website!

Now that you’ve found us, we hope you’ll check back for updates on a regular basis. The Hampton Beach Area Commission (HBAC) represents and advocates for the area outlined on this map.

We continue to work on our requirement to update and expand the Hampton Beach master plan. Having completed the Environmental and Coastal Resilient component, our next step is to produce the economic development component of the plan. That will entail working with residents, businesspeople, and the Chamber of Commerce along with other stakeholders to produce a comprehensive and workable plan that will support the economic viability of Hampton Beach. The Hampton Beach Master Plan is an appendix to the town of Hampton Master Plan.

We also continue to work with New Hampshire’s Department of Transportation as they move forward with the replacement of the Seabrook/Hampton River bridge and the planned improvements for  Route 1A currently which is nearing the completion of the engineering phase.

The HBAC will continue its work as an important link between departments at the state level, including the Department of Transportation and State Parks, and the town of Hampton to maintain the beauty and vitality of Hampton Beach.
