The Little Boar's Head Historic District encompasses an area of summer resort and beachfront properties in North Hampton, New Hampshire. The district extends along Ocean Boulevard (New Hampshire Route 1A), which runs along the beach facing the Gulf of Maine, and includes properties on Sea Avenue, Atlantic Avenue, Willow Avenue, and Chapel Road. Its southern end is a cluster of bathhouses just south of North Hampton State Beach, northward to the southern end of Bass Beach. It takes its name from one of the points of land on the coast. The district is almost entirely residential, consisting mainly of houses built as summer vacation spots in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. There are a few older houses, and the district includes the bathhouses along the beach as well as a series of fish houses located just north of the state beach.
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
