HAMPTON, N.H.—March usually doesn't provide great beach weather in New Hampshire -- but hundreds of people gathered at Hampton Beach as temperatures soared into the 80s this week.
It looked like summer at the beach on Thursday, although the water temperature was still in the 40s.
Police said they had extra patrols out to ensure safety. There were some arrests Thursday afternoon.
Highs Friday were expected to stay mainly in the 60s -- still a good 15 degrees above normal.
