Breakwater Inn

Breakwater Inn - A 23-room value property with marina views, outdoor pools, and on-site seafood dining

Overlooking Pamlico Sound, Breakwater Inn is a 2-star budget property in the heart of Hatteras Village, located on the two-lane Highway 12. The three-story shingle-covered building features gambrel rooftops, marina views from wooden balconies or patios, and suites with kitchenettes, microwaves, and coffeemakers. A free continental breakfast is served each morning in the lobby, and guests can dine at the Breakwater Restaurant beside the hotel, a seafood eatery under the same ownership. The outdoor pool includes a shallow section for kids, surrounded by a white fence for privacy, with Adirondack chairs lining the wooden deck. Rooms in the older Fisherman's Quarters offer rustic decor but all feature water-view decks. Nearby landmarks include Buxton Woods Coastal Reserve (2 km) and Burrus Market, a minute's drive or five-minute walk away.
