Blue Heron Motel

A straightforward motel on Nags Head's Beach Road, close to the Atlantic and Jockey's Ridge

About

Blue Heron Motel sits along S Virginia Dare Trail, the beach road that traces the Atlantic side of Nags Head, putting the ocean and public beach access within easy walking or short driving distance. It's a straightforward, no-frills lodging option rather than a big oceanfront resort — a place to unpack and spend the day on the sand.

The location works well for exploring the rest of the northern Outer Banks. Jockey's Ridge State Park and its towering dune system are a short drive away in Nags Head, and the Beach Road corridor connects straight through to Kill Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk without needing to get on the Croatan Highway. Because Virginia Dare Trail runs closer to the shoreline than the main highway, it tends to be a quieter way to get around town, especially in the evenings.

  • Address: 6811 S Virginia Dare Trail, Nags Head, NC 27959
  • Best suited to travelers prioritizing proximity to the beach over amenities
  • Peak season (Memorial Day–Labor Day) fills up fastest; shoulder season (April–May, September–October) is typically quieter and easier to book

I was pleasantly surprised by how great my stay here was. From the front desk, to the cleaning staff, they're so kind and accommodating. I highly recommend it. Can't beat the long allocation as well

Great stay at Blue Heron Motel in Nags Head! The price-to-quality ratio is absolute perfection. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the staff were exceptionally polite, friendly, and helpful. ​The location is fantastic—just a short walk to a beautiful beach, and they even have an outdoor area to wash the sand off your feet before heading inside. We also loved discovering that the motel is dog-friendly! We didn't know beforehand, but we are definitely bringing our dog with us next time. Highly recommended, we loved everything about our stay!
