I spent a lot of time in Portsmouth as a kid - it's a blast. A few things I would recommend that are fun:
- New Castle Beach. Wide, nice sand, family friendly, lots of cool rocks and tidal pools for Owen to explore.
- Chauncey Creek. Great restaurant hidden away off Route 1A with a big deck filled with picnic tables. Lobster tanks inside would be fun for Owen to check out, too. http://www.chaunceycreek.com/
- Downtown Portsmouth is really fun - check out the area by Strawberry Banke, where there is a nice wooden deck to walk along the waterfront.
- the Children's Museum in Portsmouth is great if it happens to rain
And this is TOTALLY random, but if you have a car, one of the best memories of my childhood is visiting this amazing huge playground behind Little Harbor School, near where my grandma used to live. It might not seem that great to you, but as a six year old, nothing was cooler - there is so much stuff to play on. Thought if Owen is feeling a little down lately it might be fun to take him to it.
