Sea Foam Motel

Since 1948, Sea Foam Motel has provided guests with an authentic, nostalgic vacation experience on the Outer Banks. As a National Register of Historic Places property, we combine mid-century charm with modern comforts, offering oceanfront accommodations that stand apart from chain hotels. Our retro aesthetic and welcoming atmosphere create a unique environment where guests quickly form connections, whether lounging by our historic pool, playing cornhole, or watching sunrises from our gazebo. Strategically located near Jennette's Pier and major attractions like Jockey's Ridge State Park and Wright Brothers National Memorial, we provide easy access to both natural wonders and local culture.

Our efficiency rooms with full kitchens and pet-friendly options cater to diverse traveler needs while maintaining our commitment to quality service. With decades of repeat guests who've returned year after year for over 30 years, we've cultivated a community where new visitors become lifelong friends. Our staff takes pride in ensuring every guest experiences the Outer Banks' distinctive charm through personalized recommendations and attentive service. From hurricane evacuees finding unexpected adventure to families creating generational memories, we remain dedicated to preserving the timeless spirit of coastal vacations.
