Family Owned & Opperated Since 1932


The original lodgings offered were simple tent cabins built on platforms in the orchard under the apple trees and along the beach. In the 1920's the business grew and sleeping cottages began being built; some on former tent platforms.

By 1932 there were 8 total sleeping cottages, a shared bathhouse and the Lodge for dining. As time progressed hot running water, bathrooms, and kitchens were added . 

The intention of North Beach Inn was, and has always been, to provide guests with a rustic stay in a pristine place. An opportunity to get back to nature and rough it a little. The lodgings aren't fancy, as the Gibsons like to keep things simple and the lack of TV and Wifi is intentional. We want you to come and relax and take in the beautiful views, the beach, and reconnect with loved ones. To make new memories and relive the old ones. So take the time to slow down and enjoy the simple things.

We had a delightful three night stay at your cabins right by the beach. We saw an otter, seals and lots of ducks just looking out the window during breakfast. As your site makes clear, there is no wifi or TV, but the rustic swtting is just what we wanted.

Had a wonderful time here! The office was nothing but helpful and kind. The beach is beautiful and clean. The house (#14) was clean and beautiful as well with a wonderful view over the coast by the fire pit.

My husband and I went with our whippets in 2018 and had planned another trip in 2020. Covid sidelined those plans. We are again scheduled for later this year 2021. I'm so excited and cannot wait. It is such a peaceful place. No TV, No Phones. So close to the beach. Just so relaxing. The staff is so friendly.
