The Beach Club is a private oceanfront club at 2450 Ocean Boulevard in Rye, New Hampshire. The club consists of a cluster of four buildings built around a saltwater swimming pool on the beach near the junction of Ocean Boulevard and Sea Road. The main clubhouse was built c. 1882, and has been repeatedly modified since then. The other three structures are bathhouses that flank the swimming pool, the oldest of which was built c. 1900, and the newest in 1990. The swimming pool is a 2007 replica of the original 1927 pool. When first built, the property was operated as a public bathhouse catering to vacationers. It became a private club in 1925, catering to the elite of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and is the only beachfront private club from that period to survive.[2]
The club was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1]
