Two NH Beaches Among Cleanest In The Country

HAMPTON, NH (CBS) - Two New England beaches are among the cleanest in the country, but they're not on Cape Cod or the islands.

The Natural Resources Defense Council named a dozen pristine waterfronts across the country.

Two of them, Hampton Beach State Park and Wallis Sands Beach are both in New Hampshire.

In 2011, Wallis Sands never failed to meet health standards and officials say that's not all.

In addition to that, the sand is cleaned daily, there is a no dog policy and they hand you a plastic bag when you arrive, so whatever you bring in you can carry back out.
