The New Hampshire Marine Memorial stands near the southern end of the boardwalk, a granite monument dedicated to the men and women from New Hampshire who served in the United States Marine Corps. The statue depicts a Marine in uniform on a tiered granite base, set back slightly from Ocean Boulevard with a view toward the sea.
It is a well-made monument in a prominent position, and it draws visitors who come to read the inscribed names and reflect. The location on the beach puts it in good company with the general New England tradition of seafront memorials — this stretch of the New Hampshire coast has a long connection to maritime service and military history. The memorial is accessible year-round and is one of the quieter spots on an otherwise busy stretch of the boardwalk.
