Along New Hampshire’s tiny, 18-mile coastline, at the mouth of the Piscataqua River, is a unique seaport city, replete with stunning coastal beauty, authentic New England charm, and well-steeped in American history. Located just 50 miles north of Boston, Portsmouth is a lively hub whose coastal beauty, outstanding restaurants, art galleries, theatre, and endless cultural treasures can be found all along its pedestrian-friendly downtown. One of the country’s most popular tourist destinations, it’s fitting that The National Trust for Historic Preservation included Portsmouth on its list of America’s Dozen Distinctive Destinations. Photographer Philip Case Cohen captures the essence of this alluring place in vivid detail.
