Historic Charm on the Benicia Waterfront

Overlooking the Carquinez Strait in downtown Benicia, The Shorelight Inn is an intimate, adults-only B&B with just six spacious suites. Housed in a restored turn-of-the-century building, the waterfront inn pairs historic character with comfortable accommodations, each featuring a queen bed, sitting area, and private jetted soaking tub. Select suites open to balconies overlooking the bay, while the inn’s main deck offers another front-row seat for colorful sunsets. The inn greets guests with a welcome beverage upon arrival and serves a complimentary breakfast each morning. Benicia’s restaurants, boutiques, galleries, historic sites, and waterfront are all within an easy stroll.
