How Close Is The Southfleet to the Beach?
The Southfleet isn’t just near the beach—it’s directly across the street from the entrance to Marconi Beach, one of the most iconic stretches of shoreline within the Cape Cod National Seashore.
Happy Customers
Anita
“We have been visiting Southfleet for many years, and it just seems to get better each year. The staff is wonderful, welcoming and helpful. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. You just can’t beat the location across the street from Marconi Beach and the rail trail and next to two wonderful restaurants.”
Ericka
“It is a great, family friendly inn. My husband enjoys the location of the bike trails to the hotel. My girls like the playground and indoor pool. The added bonus is the on site restaurant. We have stayed there twice and wanted to stay there agin but they were already full for this weekend.”
Sherry
“We can’t get enough of South Wellfleet Motor Inn. We’ve gone twice this summer and hope to go a third before the season is over. The motel is convenient to four restaurants that you can walk to. The property has everything you want: two pools, a guest laundry, lots of space in the room. The service is wonderful.”
