24th Street Motel
2401 Surf Avenue
North Wildwood, NJ 08260




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.

(888) 522-2248 / (609) 522-4090


The younger of the two AA Heart of Wildwood properties, this structure is clad in a bright red brick exterior, making it near impossible for one to miss while traveling by on Ocean Ave. in Wildwood proper. It may be on the endangered list, as it stands in an area that is rumored to be part of the proposed Riviera Resort highrise project.

Acropolis Oceanfront Resort
300 Kennedy Beach Drive
North Wildwood, NJ 08260

(609) 522-5400


Amid a cluster of older, smaller buildings in North Wildwood's upper motel district, the Acropolis and nearby Regency Towers dominate the beachfront skyline. The sentinel nature of the 1970s-era Acropolis calls to mind the ancient structure for which it was named, which for thousands of years has loomed high above the city of Athens, Greece.
