Came down to the banks from the Blue Ridge parkway, and looked at a couple of spots before settling on the Beacon Motor Lodge. The room was on the beach, separated from the sand by a concrete patio, the sand actually drifting onto the patio. What a spot! We spent most of our time walking on the beach. The room... More
