Miles of trails connect Seabrook’s coast
Over 13 miles of trails connect various parks throughout the city, allowing locals to bike and hike between scenic locations. “The trail system is the best thing about Seabrook.

Seabrook residents need to prepare for storms
Due to its location along the water, Seabrook is vulnerable to flooding and tropical storms. Hurricane Nicholas in 2021 severely damaged the fishing pier at Pine Gully Park, which was previously a major attraction and recreation spot. This risk of extreme weather often comes with additional costs for locals. “If you live on the coast, you’re going to pay more for hazard insurance,” Pearson says. “Because it’s on the water, people are worried about flooding, hail and wind storms. Insurance has doubled in some areas.”
