Nelson's Candies is a family-run business owned by Janet Nelson Patenaude. Since 1914, the shop has been providing sweet treats to visitors at Hampton's North Beach. The selection includes caramel corn, fudge, taffy and homemade peanut butter cups, in addition to ice cream treats like frappes, floats, sundaes, waffle bowls, and plain ice cream cones. It is located in the little complex adjacent to Cinnamon Rainbows Surf Shop. The shop keeps seasonal hours and is often closed during bad weather. A small parking area allows 10-minute parking, but customers who wish to stay longer can park in the paid lot across the street.
