Welcome to Moonlight Beach Motel, your home away from home in the quintessential beach town of Encinitas. We treat all guests like family and strive to ensure an amazing stay for those that visit us. Just two short blocks from the stunning Moonlight State Beach, our motel is the closest in Encinitas to the ocean. Borrow beach chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys from our front desk and see who can build the best sandcastle! After an enjoyable day at the beach, it is only a short stroll "home" where you can relax in air-conditioned accommodations while gazing out at the Pacific. Take a walk into town, just moments from our location. Encinitas has a charming downtown with local taco stands, historic buildings, hidden gardens, and quirky shops. You'll find a seemingly endless stretch of excellent restaurants, many with outdoor seating. Just 30 minutes away is the bustling city of San Diego, making an excellent option for a day trip. In addition to our unbeatable location, you are bound to love our comfortable accommodations and wonderful amenities. We have many different layout options. From a three-bed suite to a king bed studio, Moonlight Beach Motel has just what you're looking for. All of our rooms feature a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker and many of them have full kitchenettes. You can choose from rooms with private balconies and ocean views to accommodations with lovely garden patios. No matter what you book, we know you'll enjoy relaxing at our property.
