Portsmouth leads the list with lots of things to do on the water for lovers of water sports. Rent a kayak and paddle around the waterways that surround Portsmouth and the Seacoast. Or, you can take a ride on several excursion boats and do your sightseeing in comfort.

Exeter offers plenty of options to stay healthy and get well with 5.42 medical centers per 1,000 residents; Portsmouth comes in a pretty healthy second place with 2.99 medical centers per 1,000. I’ve personally been a patient in Portsmouth Hospital twice, once for a routine procedure and once from a cat bit infection. I can testify I was treated both times royally and was very happy with my care.
