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 Florida 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 Hollywood Beach 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. Hollywood Beach FL 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
Hollywood Beach Florida broadwalk (not boardwalk) area is
undergoing a continuing renovation including a $15 million
renovation of the historic Ramada Beach Resort.
Hollywood Beach FL offers a park for the kids and courts
for playing paddleball. As well, Hollywood Beach Florida
offers 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 along the Hollywood
Beach broadwalk 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 of Hollywood Beach while Miami / South Beach is
approximately fifteen miles to the
south.
Another nice video starting from
the other end of the Hollywood Beach boardwalk. Note that
this video was shot on a Mother's Day when there was also a
Footvolley Tournament. Hollywood Beach Florida parking is
much better than its better-known neighbors to the north
and south but on major holidays Hollywood Beach FL can be
a little
more crowded...
