The Beacon

“A Great Motel on the Ocean”

The Beacon is a gem of a motel right on the edge of Emerald Isle in Salter Path, and I used it as a home base for the Emerald Isle Marathon. We brought our dog and took her to the beach, which was lovely, quiet, and pristine even though we only had a small amount of time in the afternoon. The room was super cute and spacious, with a cozy bed and couch that gave us plenty of room to spread out with our dog. There’s a nice shower and kitchenette, and the AC units kept the room comfortable. Check‑in was a breeze, and our host kindly let me return for a shower after my race. We’ll definitely consider staying here again whenever we’re back.

“A wonderful place for my autumn trip to the beaches.”

There’s plenty of outdoor seating that feels comfortable, and the road noise was tolerable in late fall but might change in summer. The room was bright and cheerful with a lovely bathroom. If you plan to cook a lot, bring your own pan or special utensils, though the provided cutlery was new and clean. The staff welcomed my dog warmly. The dumpster area had a bad odor, and some broken items weren’t properly disposed of.

The place looks great, the outdoor gathering area and boardwalk to the beach are nice, Moo‑Moo the cat is adorable, and the customer service was insanely awesome! 😉

“It was amazing”

It’s so cute and I love the vintage vibe, but the walk to the beach was pretty and the outside seating was very nice.
