L. Lewis's company filled a niche in the community and was very successful. With this newfound wealth, A. L. Lewis bought and built various amenities open to Black Americans, such as the Lincoln Golf Country Club and, of course, American Beach. Throughout the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, summers at American Beach were busy with families, churches, and children. American Beach stretched over 216 acres. It was a place where African Americans could enjoy \"Recreation and Relaxation Without Humiliation\". The beach resort included hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs as well as homes and other businesses. Over time American Beach became known as \"The Negro Ocean Playground\" a place for \"Recreation and Relaxation without Humiliation\".
