Coastal Motel

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from Jacksonville Shows

Modern convenience meets small-town charm at Coastal Motel, a no-frills, budget-friendly stay just a short drive from downtown Jacksonville, NC. With its laid-back vibe, clean rooms, and easy access to both nature and city hotspots, it’s a reliable base for concert-goers who want to keep things simple and stress-free.
Located just a 5-minute drive from Morgan Bay and only 18 miles from North Topsail Beach, the motel also offers quick access to local parks and historic memorials between gigs.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the quiet atmosphere after a loud night out, plus the 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins a breeze.

The motel’s free Wi-Fi and parking mean you’re always connected and never hunting for a spot after a show.
