"The view of Sand Lane in South Beach in 1955, from Oceanside Avenue, showcased various entertainment venues, including the South Beach Diner, a soft ice cream shop, a delicatessen, a pizzeria and amusement rides. In 1941, an amusement park opened on the then-busy boardwalk affectionately known as "the South Beach rides." It moved to this strip of Sand Lane in 1953 and quickly became a popular destination for Island residents. After decades of fun, the amusement attraction closed in 1999."
"Currently in its place, a development of attached houses was built, and a Key Food grocery store was constructed nearby on the same side of the street taking over other amusement icons, such as the go-carts, a scary house of horrors called the "Fun House," and an arcade. On the opposite side of the street, a collection of businesses, known as "The Shops at South Beach," emerged. This currently includes food establishments, a florist, exercise facilities, a daycare/preschool, and an elementary school."
Sand Lane in South Beach featured diverse entertainment venues in 1955, including the South Beach Diner, a soft ice cream shop, a delicatessen, a pizzeria and amusement rides. An amusement park opened on the boardwalk in 1941, relocated to Sand Lane in 1953, and served Island residents until it closed in 1999. Developers replaced the amusement area with attached houses and a Key Food grocery store that occupies former attractions like go-carts, the Fun House and an arcade. Across the street, The Shops at South Beach now houses food outlets, a florist, exercise facilities, a daycare/preschool and an elementary school.
