The city of Boynton Beach Recreation and Parks Department recently announced the arrival of a new concessionaire at the city’s beach, Oceanfront Park, 6415 N. Ocean Blvd.
The owners of Ellie’s Diner in Delray Beach have won a three-year contract to manage the Sand Dollar Cafe at the park.
Wally Majors, director of the Recreation and Parks Department, said there was a formal process in which the new vendors were chosen.
“Ellie’s is a fixture in the community for some time now,” Majors said. “We are always looking for ways to improve and since the lease agreement with the previous vendor was up, we decided to bring in a new one.”
He said the new vendors have been running the Sand Dollar Café since the beginning of the year.
“There really is nothing else around there,” he said. “They always have fresh coffee and cookies, and everything you could want.”
Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day of the week. Different lunch specials are offered every day.
