Review:
Hollywood Beach has been recognized as one of  America's Best Beach Boardwalk by Travel & Leisure.  It features a long-brick paved broad walk that is only steps away from the beach. This beautiful beach is located between Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

Hollywood Beach has a vintage feel and it is very family friendly. In comparison to South Beach, this beach is very quiet, not as crowded, not as glamorous, and more visited by locals. There are lots of little shops and restaurants. 

If you want to sit and relax, this is the place to go. There are many benches throughout the broadwalk for sightseeing

The broad walk offers different food choices from Pizza to Ice Cream Shops, to Mexican to French food. There are hotels, small condos and motels you can rent, there are also many souvenir shops. Every weekend you can find fresh produce for sale on the south end of the Hollywood Broadwalk at Josh's Organic market.

There are two parks five minutes apart from the action in the broad walk. One with a paddleball court and the other one with water features for children (Charnow Park)

Rentals
You can rent regular bikes ($10/hr), surrey bikes ($20/hr), and banana bikes ($10/hr) to ride along the broad walk; also chair/umbrellas/cabanas for rates up to $26 per day, waverunners, jet skis and parasailing available. You can find a stall in Taft Street. Check here for more information
