Sands Motel

Sands Motel occupies a modest roadside lot at 2401 Beach Court in Riviera Beach, a short block off the Broadway corridor that runs the length of this Palm Beach County city. This is the kind of small, family run motel that has largely disappeared from Florida’s coastal towns, replaced by chain properties clustered near the interstate. Corporate filings tied to the Sands Motel name in Florida’s business registry date back many decades, and the property continues to show up in current business directories as an active lodging option in Riviera Beach, listed alongside the larger branded hotels on Singer Island.

The motel sits in the mainland section of the city, west of the Intracoastal Waterway, a few minutes drive from the Blue Heron Boulevard bridge that carries traffic out to Singer Island and its public beaches. Guests who prefer a no frills, budget friendly base rather than a resort setting have historically used properties like this one as a place to sleep between days spent on the water or at the beach, without paying resort rates. Riviera Beach itself is a working waterfront city built around the Port of Palm Beach and the Riviera Beach Marina, and small independent motels such as this have long served boaters, port workers, and visitors who want to stay close to Palm Beach County’s coastal attractions without the price tag of an oceanfront resort.

Because Sands Motel does not appear to maintain an active website, and its listing details vary slightly across directories, prospective guests should call ahead to confirm current room rates, availability, and check in procedures. Independent motels of this size typically offer a small number of exterior entry rooms, on site parking directly outside each door, and simple furnishings, a style of lodging that has been part of Florida’s roadside travel culture since the mid twentieth century. Whether Sands Motel retains all of these traditional features today was not independently confirmed during this research and should be verified directly with the property before booking.

For travelers exploring this stretch of Palm Beach County, Riviera Beach offers easy access to Singer Island’s beaches, the Riviera Beach Marina and its fishing charters, and John D. MacArthur Beach State Park a short drive north. Downtown West Palm Beach and Palm Beach International Airport are also close by, making a budget motel like Sands Motel a practical, low cost option for anyone who wants a home base in the area without paying for a full service resort. As with any small, independently operated property, guests should confirm hours of operation, cancellation policies, and payment methods directly with the motel before booking, since this information is not consistently published online and could not be fully verified as part of this research.
