Founded on January 31, 1935 by the Pension Bureau of the Afro-American Life Insurance Company, American Beach was developed as an ocean front resort for the Pension Bureau's employees and shareholders. During the period of racial segregation in America, American Beach became known to hundreds of thousands as the Negro Playground, and was a home in Paradise to many. In 1982, property owners assumed leadership for the community and began a neighborhood association. The American Beach Property Owners’ Association, Inc., as custodian of this natural landmark, takes pride and responsibility in the care, preservation and well-being of the American Beach community
2025 marks the 90th Anniversary of the founding of American Beach. The Board of County Commissioners commends the American Beach Property Owners', the entire American Beach community, and all those who contribute to the preservation and longevity of this unique community and for keeping the dream alive for ninety years.
