The Caribbean Motel is a historic motel in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey, built in 1957 by Lou Morey in the Doo-Wop architectural style—a regional variant of Googie design. Originally built for owners Dominic and Julie Rossi, the motel became notable as the first in the area to incorporate full-size plastic palm trees, a decorative innovation that subsequently became a defining feature of South Jersey's Doo-Wop motels. The Rossi family retained ownership until the early 1990s. The motel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and sits within the Wildwoods Shore Resort Historic District.
