White Whale Motel
White Whale Motel is a family friendly motel in Barnegat Light, a quaint fishing village on the northern tip of Long Beach Island N.J. There are many restaurants, gift shops and antique shops located nearby. It is a short walk to the ocean, bay, inlet and some of the best beaches at the Jersey Shore.

White Whale Motel is the closest motel to the Barnegat Lighthouse and Barnegat Inlet. We have stayed here several times in suite 201 ( Bayview suite.) We just returned from a week long stay and this is definitely a great value for the size of the space in a great part of the island. The room itself easily accommodated our family of two adults and two children.

Great little motel. Room was clean. Great backyard to hang out. Walking distance to the water, Kubels bar, and the bait store. Will definitely be visiting and staying again. Thanks

Stayed here Thursday thru Sunday. You can't beat the price for mid-week or weekend. It's the best price for any room on the entire island. The rooms are super cozy and comfortable. Locations is amazing. Walk to everything (beach, ice cream, restaurants, bars) Beach badges included and the room even had a mini refrigerator and a freezer. It was great for my family. Rooms are clean and owners are attentive. We arrived early and were able to pick up the beach badges then the owners called us when room was ready so we had an early check-in. We like supporting locally owned business. Would def stay

Absolutely horrible experience. We booked this hotel as part of a wedding party. We were told check out was 12pm when booking, but ended up getting kicked out at 11am. The room was disgusting. The sheets were stained and not changed, because there was loads of sand in the beds. The door was broken and wouldn’t lock. The rooms are run down and outdated. Bathrooms are gross. For almost $200 for a weeknight, we expected much better quality.

I stayed here for a night with my husband as a get-away from the city. It was a great location with great service. The rooms are simple but clean. Our one complaint was that the bed was pretty soft. Full disclosure, I have back issues so I love a firm mattress. If you don't care about a very soft bed, this place was great!

I have a hard time understanding all of the glowing reviews for this motel.
On the positive side, the room was clean and the shower worked well.
However the room was advertised as having 2 queen sized beds. Not true. They are full-size beds, not queens. In fairness, the room is so tiny that queen beds wouldn't fit. And the mattresses on the beds weren't very comfortable.
Parking is inadequate. When we got back to the motel that evening, there was no room in the parking lot. It didn't help that there was a large pickup truck taking up 2 spots. But there was no one in the office to speak to, so
