The Sea Shore Motel is simple and clean in the perfect location. A block from the beach and my favorite beachside café, Perry’s. At the corner of the motel is an amazing bakery with out of this world croissants and other breakfast treats. Don’t expect anything fancy, but if you want to be in a fantastic neighborhood, away from the tourism of SantaMonica, this is a great place to land.

We had a great experience here from start to finish. It’s in the heart of the area. You could easily stay here for a weekend and not need your car the whole time. The pastry place attached the building is wonderful too. Also, I didn’t notice until we were checking out that they have a library and other items you might want to borrow for your stay in the office.. like, a tea kettle. They also provide towels and other beach supplies there.
