About This Beach
Located between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood Beach is one of South Florida’s most beloved seaside destinations. Famous for its 2.5-mile-long Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, this beach perfectly blends old-Florida charm with modern amenities. Families, couples, and visitors of all ages flock here to enjoy the wide sandy shore, warm Atlantic waters, and lively oceanfront promenade.
Hollywood Beach is especially known for its laid-back vibe compared to the glitz of Miami Beach. With street performers, open-air cafés, rental bikes, and a family-friendly atmosphere, it’s ideal for both day trips and week-long vacations.
📜 History & Unique Features
The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, built in the 1920s, remains the heart of the beach experience. Stretching nearly 2.5 miles along the ocean, it is lined with restaurants, shops, hotels, and ice cream parlors. Unlike many car-heavy South Florida strips, the Broadwalk is pedestrian- and bike-friendly, making it a unique attraction for families and active travelers.
Hollywood also features the Hollywood Beach Bandshell, which hosts free concerts and cultural events throughout the year.
