The Hollywood Beach
Broadwalk in Hollywood, Florida offers a ~2.6 mile
view of palm-tree laden white sand beach without the
40-story buildings and heavy traffic of its surrounding
neighbors. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk was named
one of the top ten nostalgic promenades by USA Today
and is ideal for walking, biking, or rollerblading
and rentals are available if you don't bring your own
wheels. A separate
bike path gives bikers a mostly interrupted ride with
the exception of the occasional walker who strays
from the bricklined pedestrian walkway and doesn't realize
the white sidewalk is a bike path. Joggers might
prefer running in the morning when the crowds are
lighter. Beach facilities include restrooms and
outdoor showers. Hollywood Beach safety
includes twenty-one lifeguard towers, eight first-aid
stations, lanterns and colored lights for safe night
walking. Numerous inexpensive beachfront restaurants
and hotels are
available so a Hollywood Beach Florida
vacation can be very economical. Built in
the 1920s, the broadwalk area is undergoing a
continuing renovation including a $15 million renovation
of the historic Ramada Beach Resort. Hollywood
Beach offers a park for the kids and courts for playing
paddleball. As well, there are periodic concerts
(every 2nd and 4th Friday night at 7PM), volleyball
tournaments, festivals, fireworks on July 4th and
various cultural events. At Johnson Street there is
a park which features covered playgrounds, exercise
stations, bike racks, and tables for ping pong and
chess. At the far north side of the
Broadwalk are a sea turtle hatchery and picnic
facilities. Every Sunday Josh's Organic Garden is
open from 9AM to 5:30PM at Harrison Street and every
fourth Friday is Classic Cruise Night. Fort
Lauderdale Beach is approximately seven miles to the north
while Miami / South Beach is
approximately fifteen miles to
the south.
