What are those wooden boxes on the beach at Roatan's Mahogany Bay (see pic)

[Rayden Lightning]

Silly, question but what are those wooden boxes on the beach at Roatan's Mahogany Bay used for? We went there two years ago. We did not make it to the beach until everyone else had left for the day (started to rain). We are going back this December (2018) and would like to know what these boxes are used for.

 

Thank You,

Rayden

Look like covers for trash receptacles. As if cruisers every dump their own trash.

No, I do not think so. If I remember correctly, there was no trash can in them and the back facing the water was open.

Do they hold menus for ordering food & drinks? Used to hold valuables while guess are in the water? Do they have an attendance to collect money to upgrade your lounge chairs? (I know there is an "excursion" package for getting better lounge chairs).

I have never been so can’t confirm but a couple of photos on TripAdvisor show something similar with lifebuoys attached?
