Beach Motels in the Pacific Northwest

Coho Oceanfront Lodge

Lincoln City, OR

Three floors of rooms facing the Pacific, an indoor heated pool, and adults-only Sunset Suites with jetted soaking tubs at the oceanfront. Fire pits at the water's edge, and a name drawn from Siletz Indian legend.

Ocean Inn at Manzanita

Manzanita, OR

A cluster of cedar-paneled cabins at the Pacific end of Manzanita's main street, barely changed since 1942 and all the better for it, with wood stoves, decks facing the water, and the beach a two-minute walk away. Manzanita stays quiet and nearly chain-free, and this is the spot where the town gives way to open sand.

Agate Beach Motel

Newport, OR

A cliffside perch where every room has a private ocean-view deck and a full kitchen or kitchenette. A private stairway leads down to the beach.

Ecola Creek Lodge

Cannon Beach, OR

A cluster of white Cape Cod cottages set among lawns, flower gardens, and a koi pond on the quiet north end of Cannon Beach. The sand is two blocks away and downtown a short stroll, so you can park once and spend the weekend on foot.

Mermaid Inn

Long Beach, WA

Ten mermaid-themed rooms with private furnished patios mark this 1953 Long Beach Peninsula property, where the landscaping is kept with care and the Pacific shore is steps from the front door. A committed coastal personality and more than seventy years on the same peninsula block.

Moolack Shores Inn

Newport, OR

Perched on a bluff above Moolack Beach north of Newport, this cliffside retreat has its own private staircase down to a stretch of sand most people never find. Individually themed rooms, many with fireplaces and ocean-view decks, and a firepit above the beach make it a quiet, romantic escape from the busier coast.

Moonstone Beach Motel

Moclips, WA

A perch above a coastal beach where every room has an unobstructed ocean view and a private deck. The hospitality here is personal enough that guests come back for both.

Ocean Suites Motel

Brookings, OR

Every suite has a full kitchen, built from an overgrown lot in 1997 and now run by the second generation of the family that built it. Everything needed for a longer stay without any of the noise.

Silver Sands Motel

Westport, WA

Fully renovated in 2022 under new ownership, with a fire pit and an outdoor shell wash station at the coast. Good access to serious surf and coastal wildlife.
