Should one company control Casino Beach chair rentals? Take our poll
Tiffany's claims exclusive rights to rent chairs and umbrellas on Casino Beach, threatening legal action against The Dock; take our poll.Summary
Tiffany's, a restaurant and beach chair and umbrella rental company under new ownership, asserts that its lease grants it exclusive rights to operate across Casino Beach and is threatening legal action if the Santa Rosa Island Authority does not stop The Dock, which offers similar rentals via a subcontractor. Tiffany's attorney, Charles James, argues the lease specifies "all of Casino Beach" as its authorized area for chair-and-umbrella delivery sets and seeks enforcement. Dennis Green, attorney for The Dock, counters that the lease is misinterpreted, claiming a 2011 modification limits operations to areas designated by the SRIA, specifically south of property lines to the high water mean mark. He adds that The Dock has rented beach paraphernalia for over 20 years, does not offer presets, and could continue rentals independently if its contract with Sandy Toes ends. The article invites readers to share their opinion through a poll on whether one company should have exclusive rights.
