In 1877, the Boynton Beach resort opened, featuring a bathing beach with bath houses, a picnic grove, pony rides, hot air balloons, a shooting gallery, a nickelodeon, a bowling alley, a skee ball, frequent fireworks displays, and amusement rides including a Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, a small rollercoaster, and a bamboo slide. Boynton Beach had a fleet of one hundred row boats, and many visitors used the boats to fish, relax, or take advantage of the excursions the resort offered.
