For decades, the starburst-shaped neon emblem of the 24th Street Motel served as a beacon to travelers and a familiar landmark to locals near the southern end of North Wildwood's Surf Avenue strip. After nearly a half-century of proud operation, the motel closed its doors for the final time in September of 2005. It was promptly demolished in favor of new condominiums.

A four-story, C-shaped motel located in North Wildwood's northern motel district, the aptly-named A Shore View is one block from the beach and ocean. The motel's exterior is clad in white vinyl, with floor borders and exterior room dividers painted a bright shade of pink.
The interestingly-named A&A remains standing, now serving as the western portion of the Days Inn (formerly Cabana Motor Inn), the only major chain motel in the Wildwoods. It also operated at one time as the Cypress Inn.

A longtime fixture on New Jersey Ave. in North Wildwood, A&LP has happily served generations of visitors to the island for over half a century. The oversized rooftop neon signs on the north and south ends of the building are hard to miss when coming from either direction, particularly at night. This institution remains family owned and operated, and is open all year round.
The older of the two AA Heart of Wildwood properties, this structure is notable for featuring a poolside sundeck that overlooks the Boardwalk at its eastern end. Along with its sister property across bustling Ocean Ave., it has gained a reputation as one of the island's most pristine and meticulously maintained motels.
