Hampton Beach is packed on weekends

[Toxic Waltz]

Many NH and Maine beaches are the same which is why I try to go as early as possible to secure parking. Peak hours will always be difficult, at least in normal circumstances.

I don't even bother on holidays. lol That's backyard BBQ time for sure.

Agreed. Those prices are insane (not to mention the crowds), but the lots fill to capacity, even at $70-80.

We did see packed lots at $70-80 over the Labor Day weekend.

As I previously mentioned, we typically wait until after the Seafood Festival weekend before we park and spend time at Hampton Beach (usually we go to North Hampton/Rye to walk the beach/coast).
