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.
