Portsmouth Commercial Fishing Pier

This working pier sits right on the Piscataqua River in the heart of Portsmouth, where you can watch lobster boats come and go against a backdrop of the historic waterfront. On foggy mornings especially, the atmosphere is straight out of a classic New England fishing scene. It's a genuine commercial fishing operation rather than a leisure spot, and the views from nearby Prescott Park and Four Tree Island make it worth seeking out even just to take it all in.
