I know that going to the beach is one of the most important parts of being a kid...it's just magic! :-) Those motels from that era were all-important to families but now as you said they are less so. You got some beautiful photos of some of them! Time changes, and sometimes it's a little sad.

There seems to be a big segment that loves staying in the old motels as part of the experience of the 50's and 60's.
