New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut

US Route 1 from Portsmouth New Hampshire to Seabrook,
New Hampshire is inland from ocean access. To go to
Rye Beach or Hampton Beach, you must take A1A.

In just a few miles you enter Massachusetts at Hampton
Falls. From there to Newburyport, which is a ten
minute drive, you are as close to the ocean and you
will be until Providence, Rhode Island.

You will drive right through Boston on US 1; be
prepared. Boston is one of the hardest cities to get
around in! Be sure and have a Boston city map in your
hands as you attempt this city!

Of course you can circumvent the city by picking up
I-95 in Wakefield and getting back on US1 in
Islington.

From Boston to Providence US1 runs parallel with I-95.
In Providence, US 1 heads south and follows the
coastline; if you want to see the ultra-rich mansions
in Newport, take route 138 after Allentown.

From Jerusalem you will cover many miles of a
designated Scenic Byway that follows the beautiful
coastline. To see Misquamicut State Beach, take 1A at
General Stanton’s Monument. Route 1A will bring you
back to US1 at the Connecticut border.

If terrific views of the Atlantic call to you, US 1
runs parallel to the coast through Connecticut. There
are numerous short road trips that will take you to
the many bays, points and beaches here. You will pass
through three main cities; New London, New Haven and
Bridgeport.
