All the quaint mom & pop hotels are selling out, and high-rises are going in. You won't even be able to see the ocean (or even the sky?) from the beach road when these concrete canyons are complete. I was too much a late-comer to be able to really tell if any of these small hotels were of any architectural interest. My impression was that a lot of them were dilapidated places with sand (and God knows what else, it was a spring break mecca...) in the carpets. I suspect this is happening just about everwhere where people have traditionally gone down to the shore.
